All About 1990 Volkswagen Fox Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Fox's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Volkswagen, from back to front. It’s one of your Fox’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Volkswagen Fox, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Volkswagen's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
