Can Audi service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Audi A6, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Audi A6 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 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.

Can you clear the A6 check engine light on your 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my A6 serious?

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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my A6?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your A6 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your A6 forward.

2013 Audi A6 Drivetrain Service

Your A6 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Audi, from back to front. It’s one of your A6’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Audi A6, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Audi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Audi A6 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2013 Audi A6 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your A6 might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. 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 A6.

How much does it cost to fix your 2013 Audi A6 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
