How does Volkswagen drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

When should I come in for Volkswagen Touareg differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Touareg?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Touareg can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Does my Touareg drivetrain include the transmission?
