Can Audi service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Audi A5 Quattro, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Audi A5 Quattro differential service?

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

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my A5 Quattro?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your A5 Quattro can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your A5 Quattro’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 A5 Quattro'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 A5 Quattro.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my A5 Quattro?

A drivetrain malfunction in your A5 Quattro 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.

Is my A5 Quattro’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A5 Quattro’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A5 Quattro forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
