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.

How do I know if my Audi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Audi S4? 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 S4 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a S4’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your S4 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.

Is it possible to reset the S4 malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your S4’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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my S4 serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your S4 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my S4 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S4’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S4 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
