Will it hurt my Volkswagen Cabrio to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Volkswagen’s recommendations.

What should I do if I see leaks under my Cabrio?

Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Volkswagen Cabrio engine?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Volkswagen Cabrio

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1998 Volkswagen Cabrio. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Cabrio. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system.

The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Cabrio: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help!
