What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 Audi Q7

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Q7's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Audi Q7, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
