Can Audi service save me 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 signs 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 should I come in for Audi S4 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a S4?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your S4’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your S4’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my S4 serious?

If your S4 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 S4’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your S4 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Audi S4, 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.
