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?

Noises toward the back of your Audi S4, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Audi S4 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 S4’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your S4 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my S4?

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.

Is my S4’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2015 Audi S4

Your S4’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Audi, from back to front. It’s one of your S4’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Audi S4, 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.

Audi S4 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2015 Audi S4 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your S4 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Audi S4 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2015 Audi S4? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
