Can Volkswagen service save me money?

How often should I come in for Volkswagen Arteon 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.

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

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

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

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

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Arteon’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Arteon forward.
