Expert differential servicing and repairs at Mechalex

What is a differential?

Audi Gearbox Service

The differential is a crucial component of your vehicle’s drivetrain, responsible for distributing power from the engine to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. This is essential when turning corners, as the inner and outer wheels must travel different distances.

There are different types of differentials, including:
✅ Open Differential – Standard in most vehicles, providing smooth power distribution.
✅ Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) – Improves traction by transferring power to the wheel with more grip.
✅ Locking Differential – Common in off-road vehicles, ensuring both wheels turn at the same speed.
✅ Torque-Vectoring Differential – Found in performance cars, enhancing handling and stability.


Over time, differential components wear down, and the differential fluid degrades, leading to potential drivetrain issues, grinding noises, or poor handling. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
