What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2017 Audi A4

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your A4's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your A4’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Audi A4, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Audi A4 Drivetrain Repairs

Your Audi could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Audi A4.
