How often should I come in for Volkswagen Cabriolet differential service?

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

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

The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Cabriolet forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
