When should Volkswagen Golf spark plugs be replaced?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Volkswagen Golf?

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

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Volkswagen Golf engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.

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

This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Golf's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help!
