If you drive a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive Volkswagen model, it’s equipped with a rear differential. When the time comes for the rear differential to be serviced, head to North Penn Volkswagen, serving Doylestown and Chalfont. Find out more about this service below, or schedule your appointment now!
The differential is part of the assembly of your vehicle’s drive axle. It’s a gear system that essentially allows the two wheels on the axle to spin at different speeds. Since the outer wheel will have to spin faster on a turn, the differential is vital. If you’re driving a 4Motion VW, it will have both a front and a rear differential.
The most common service a rear differential will need is fluid exchange. Differential fluid lubricates the rear differential, but it can become contaminated over time and may even begin to break down. Our technicians will inspect the differential for leaks and excessive wear, then drain and properly fill with VW-approved fluid using specialty tools. Some models include a filter which requires additional servicing.
Your 4Motion equipped vehicle should have the rear differential unit serviced every 3 years and/or 30,000 miles per manufacturer receommendations.
Something as important as the differential deserves to be taken care of by expert technicians, and that’s exactly who we employ at North Penn Volkswagen. Our technicians have been trained and certified by VW, and they’ll treat your vehicle with the care it deserves. They’ll also use VW-approved differential fluid so that your car or SUV retains its high quality.
