What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2023 Audi RS5 Sportback

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your RS5 Sportback'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: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2023 Audi RS5 Sportback, 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.
