  •  Can Audi drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

  • How often will I need Audi Q5 differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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.
  • What causes a Q5’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Q5 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can my Q5 malfunction warning light be reset at home? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.
