Can Saturn service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Saturn drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Saturn Aura? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Saturn Aura 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Aura?

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

Is it possible to reset the Aura malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Aura’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 Aura?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Aura. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Aura.

Is my Aura’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

2008 Saturn Aura Drivetrain Service

Your Aura’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Aura’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2008 Saturn Aura to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Saturn's recommendations.

Saturn Aura 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2008 Saturn Aura drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Saturn Aura may need driveshaft attention if you feel 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. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Saturn Aura.

How much does it cost to fix your 2008 Saturn Aura drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
