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

Can you clear the A4 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

Is my A4’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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.
