Volkswagen Jetta Service Intervals

Volkswagen Jetta Maintenance Schedule

Keeping up with the Volkswagen Jetta maintenance schedule outlined by Volkswagen is essential for several reasons. Maintaining your vehicle ensures that it is safe when you take it out on the road, and it can prevent smaller problems in your car from becoming more significant issues that can amount to more expensive repairs. To keep track of your Volkswagen Jetta service intervals, consult the owner's manual for your Jetta to see what service should occur and when those services need to be performed.

10,000-Mile Service

For the Jetta, Volkswagen recommends the first full service at 10,000 miles. When your Jetta reaches 10,000 miles, its engine filter should be replaced if it is dirty or contaminated with debris. The oil will also be changed, and the tires will likely be rotated if worn unevenly. The tires will be generally inspected to evaluate their pressure levels and tread depth. Your Jetta will have its brakes checked, too, as the brakes can wear out sooner than other components. The brake discs and pads will be inspected in front and back.

20,000-Mile Service

When your Jetta reaches 20,000 miles, it will have more extensive service, including an inspection of the brakes, tires, engine, and exterior components. The brake fluid gets checked at 20,000 miles, and the engine's coolant fluid will be inspected. The transmission will also be evaluated. Your Jetta's battery gets checked for problems and to have its power assessed levels. Exterior components that are checked at this point include the windshield wiper blades and the windshield washer system. Tire pressure is evaluated at 20,000 miles, along with tire tread depth. The tire repair kit that comes with your car is also inspected. Finally, a mechanic will perform a horn test and take your car for a road test.

40,000-Mile Service

The next recommended service for your Jetta takes place at 40,000 miles. The suspension system is evaluated at 40,000 miles, and the spark plugs are replaced. The brakes will get inspected, along with the exhaust system and the ribbed V-belt. A mechanic checks underneath your car to make sure there is no damage or rust to the underbody. The sunroof will be inspected if you have one, and the cabin pollen and dust filter will be replaced. The windshield and windshield wipers are also evaluated.
