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?

Hear noises toward the back of your Audi A6? 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 A6 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 A6?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your A6’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the A6 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your A6’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my A6?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your A6. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your A6.

Does my A6 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your A6’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your A6 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Audi A6

Your A6’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Audi, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2000 Audi A6 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
