Volkswagen Jetta Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Volkswagen Jetta?

To stay safe on the road and perform at its best, your Volkswagen Jetta needs to have specific maintenance throughout its lifetime. The optimal Volkswagen Jetta maintenance schedule can be found in the owner's manual that you get when you purchase the car. For your car's optimal health, Volkswagen Jetta service intervals typically start at 10,000 miles. When you are scheduling service for your car, be sure to follow the recommended guidelines in the owner's manual, which are designed specifically for the vehicle that you drive.

10,000-Mile Service

Your Volkswagen will be due for its first major service appointment at 10,000 miles. When your car hits 10,000 miles on the odometer, it will get the tires rotated if necessary, and its oil will be changed. The engine filter may also be replaced for top performance. The brake pads and brake discs will be serviced, and the service interval indicator will be reset.

20,000-Mile Service

The next service milestone for your Jetta occurs at 20,000 miles. When your Jetta reaches this mark, its transmission will be checked, and the engine compartment will be inspected. The battery will also be checked, along with the coolant fluid and the brake fluid. The Jetta's tires will be inspected again at 20,000 miles. The tire inspection includes a check on the tire pressure levels and tread depth. The tire repair kit will be examined as well.

Along with the mechanical parts, Jetta's exterior safety components will also be evaluated at 20,000 miles. The washer system will get inspected, along with the windshield wipers. All exterior lighting elements will be evaluated. The car will get a horn test and go for a road test to ensure nothing is amiss.

40,000-Mile Service

At 40,000 miles, your Jetta's dust and pollen filter will be replaced. The spark plugs will get replaced too, and the parts will be checked for corrosion. The suspension system will also be inspected, and the underbody will be inspected for problems or signs of damage. The car's brakes will get checked at 40,000 miles, and the windshield will be checked. The exhaust system will be inspected, as will the ribbed V-bet. This time, your Jetta's interior safety and functional components get checked, including the interior lights and the sunroof.
