Can Audi service save me money?

What are signs my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Audi A4? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Audi A4 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a A4’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your A4’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the A4 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your A4's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your A4.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my A4?

A drivetrain malfunction in your A4 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my A4 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A4’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A4 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
