How often will I need Audi SQ8 differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my SQ8?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your SQ8’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your SQ8’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your SQ8's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

A drivetrain malfunction in your SQ8 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 the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my SQ8?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your SQ8’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your SQ8 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
