What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2022 Volkswagen Taos

Your Taos’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Volkswagen, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Taos and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2022 Volkswagen Taos 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.
