What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Audi SQ8

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SQ8'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 SQ8 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Audi SQ8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Audi's recommendations.

When to Get Audi SQ8 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2021 Audi SQ8 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your SQ8 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Audi SQ8 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2021 Audi SQ8 drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
