All About 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your ActiveHybrid 7's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your ActiveHybrid 7 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.

When to Get BMW ActiveHybrid 7 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your BMW 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. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your BMW ActiveHybrid 7 drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 7?

  • Can BMW service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your BMW ActiveHybrid 7, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for BMW ActiveHybrid 7 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 ActiveHybrid 7’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your ActiveHybrid 7 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can you clear the ActiveHybrid 7 check engine light on your own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your ActiveHybrid 7’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my ActiveHybrid 7? If your ActiveHybrid 7 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.
  • Does my ActiveHybrid 7 transmission belong to the drivetrain system? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your ActiveHybrid 7 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.
