When should I come in for Audi A4 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Can my A4 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my A4?
