When should Volkswagen Jetta spark plugs be replaced?

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 does a puddle underneath my Volkswagen Jetta mean?

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

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

The second service focuses on your Jetta's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter.

This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Jetta's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs.
