2003 Volkswagen Jetta Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Volkswagen Jetta and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Jetta could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Jetta maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Volkswagen themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Jetta running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2003 Volkswagen Jetta problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Jetta's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Jetta may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Volkswagen Jetta battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Jetta) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Volkswagen Jetta won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta's engine run smoother. To learn how often Volkswagen recommends you have the oil changed in your 2003 Jetta, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta.

Maintaining your Volkswagen Jetta steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Volkswagen Jetta suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Volkswagen Jetta's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Volkswagen Jetta maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
