All About 2009 Audi S6 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S6's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Audi, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your S6 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Audi S6, 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.

When to Get Audi S6 Drivetrain Repairs

Your Audi could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
