1990 Volkswagen Jetta Maintenance

When it comes to your Volkswagen Jetta, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Jetta. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Jetta maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1990 Volkswagen Jetta maintenance schedule!

Volkswagen knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Jetta running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1990 Volkswagen Jetta problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1990 Volkswagen Jetta and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Jetta’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 Volkswagen Jetta. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Volkswagen Jetta battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Volkswagen Jetta won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1990 Volkswagen Jetta engine. See Volkswagen's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1990 Jetta in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1990 Volkswagen Jetta.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Volkswagen Jetta's steering and suspension system.
