All About 1991 Volkswagen Golf Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Golf's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Volkswagen, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Golf’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1991 Volkswagen Golf to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Volkswagen's recommendations.

  • Can you clear the Golf check engine light on your own? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Golf, but it's important to resist the urge.
