All About 2004 Audi A4 Quattro Drivetrain Service

Your A4 Quattro drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Audi, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2004 Audi A4 Quattro, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Audi's recommendations.

When to Get Audi A4 Quattro Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2004 Audi A4 Quattro drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your A4 Quattro might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2004 Audi A4 Quattro? Again, it depends!
