Audi Q7 Drivetrain Q&A

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  •  Can Audi drivetrain maintenance help me save 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.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Audi drivetrain system? Hear noises toward the back of your Audi Q7? 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 will I need Audi Q7 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.
  • What causes a Q7’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? A multitude of problems can activate your Q7’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Can you reset your Q7’s malfunction warning light at home? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Q7’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 serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Q7? If your Q7 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.
  • Is my Q7’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Q7’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Q7 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
