    2011 Audi S4 Prestige

    Hey guys,

    I received a 'Sports Differential: System Fault' code on my vehicle recently and it does not come back on when I turn the vehicle on, but when I take a sharp turn, it does, also after a few hours of getting this code, I also received a 'low oil level' code. I haven't seen a leak. The car has 86,000 miles on it. Please help guys, I'm taking the car in Thursday morning to Audi and hopefully I don't have to get the entire differential replaced.

    Could be an oil pump that is going. Could also be the sports diff casing thats causing the issue. Another member has been dealing with the problem. Not sure if you're under any kind of warranty or if there is a TSB for it, but if not and you need a new sports diff it could be costly.

Here at Audi of America, our obligation is to make sure we service our vehicle under the terms of it's warranty, Your vehicle being outside of the warranties by parameter and time, it is unlikely we will be able to assist.

    Ahsan Mithani said: Yes, but I was hoping that Audi USA could help me as well

    Ahsan Mithani said: Is there nothing that Audi can do?

    Jenna M. said: Did the dealership offer any assistance?

    Ahsan Mithani said: I only ask because it is my last resort

    Ahsan Mithani said: I have absolutely no other choices.

    Ahsan Mithani said: They said that they would get back to me about Assistance, but haven't yet.

    Jenna M. said: I understand, but i apologize we will not be able to meet your expectation as the vehicle is outside of warranty. Any assistance will need to come from the dealership.

    Ahsan Mithani said: ...Thank you

    Jenna M. said: Are there any further questions your have for you?

    Ahsan Mithani said: No thank you, have a great day
