Ive been using 0w40 mobil1. Had 2 jetta one 2011 wasn’t deleted car went till 502k km till it got hit into a ditch
Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.
If it goes away when the car warms up then it’s a failing coolant temperature sensor. It’s dumping in excess fuel because there’s no cat and then when it finally warms up, the sensor starts working to reduce fueling.
Our 04 Jetta TDI is still running great and doing its thing. We did swap it to a manual transmission which is actually fairly straight forward with these vehicles too.
I just went over 195,000 miles while I've driven it over 26,000 miles this year with the only failures being the original 15 year old Bosch alternator and the spark plugs needing to be replaced.
Absolutely. I got them for a 23 Jetta and the difference between stock and this is insane. Unreal grip, and I haven’t lost control yet in about 15k miles ever, not even as much as a burnout (which was very common on the stock kumhos).
Shocks/struts will go soon on this first.
I too have a 12 Jetta GLI, and bought a Nissens Heater Core from rock auto and was unable to close metal clips onto the new heater core. I had no trouble closing it with the original heater core.
My 2024 blew a head gasket at 19k miles.
Only thing that ever went wrong with it in 5 years of ownership was the water pump
