What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2004 Porsche Cayenne

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Cayenne's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Cayenne’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2004 Porsche Cayenne, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Porsche's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
