Can Volkswagen service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Volkswagen drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Volkswagen Jetta, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Volkswagen Jetta differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Jetta?

If your Jetta has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Jetta check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Jetta’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Jetta?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Jetta, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Jetta drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Jetta’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Jetta forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
