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 Beetle's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

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

All About 2016 Volkswagen Beetle Drivetrain Service

Your Beetle drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2016 Volkswagen Beetle to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Volkswagen's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Volkswagen Beetle Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2016 Volkswagen Beetle drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Volkswagen Beetle may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Volkswagen Beetle doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2016 Volkswagen Beetle drivetrain? Again, it depends!
