Can Audi service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Audi drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Audi R8? 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 R8 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 R8’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your R8 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the R8 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 R8’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 R8?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your R8. 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 R8.

Is my R8’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your R8’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your R8 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
