I would say do your own oil change. Castrol euro car and the maan filter. Do it often, maybe before the 5k kms. Make sure to do the transmission on time.
Your repair is reasonable in Canada or the USA. For those that don't know what a base Jetta coil pack and wires looks like, here's a link to FCP : VW Ignition Coil Service Kit - Bosch KIT-032905106FKT3 | FCP Euro https://share.google/2UaBCZUOxCYsInqvp
I highly recommend running Liqui-Moly. Amazing oil and I have run it in every german car I have owned with no issues.
I have these exact parts installed on my Jetta TDI MKiv. Excellent fit finish and performance. Quiet smooth braking. The Wagner Calipers are particularly fine. Love the tech support from Wagner and Power Stop.
I bought a MK3 Jetta 2.0 gas just to get me through for a couple months after I crashed my 4Runner. It was one of my favorite cars. Decent power, handled great. Coldest a/c and hottest heat of any car I have ever owned. I put a good set of snow tires on it and it would go anywhere.
I have a 2010 Jetta TDI cup edition with the CJAA engine and the factory spec listed in the manual is 5W-40… On top of that the oil cap alone has Castrol on it\nSo Castrol 5W-40…. End of story…. I apologize if I sound condescending as I do not mean to and also recognize you may have purchased your vehicle second hand and it may have not come with a manual… But if the top of your 710 aka oil cap says Castrol on it and you truly have a CJAA engine then I guarantee you that Castrol 5W-40 is the proper oil regardless of location or climate Ps…. Anyone who claims to use or recommend anything else has also probably had massive engine problems or engine repairs an question why they had those issues Follow factory spec and maintenance recommendations…. I’m pushing 280k on my CJAA engine without a single issue
When I bought it, I was made aware of an idle hunting issue - whenever I push in the clutch or return to neutral and the rpm drops, it drops drastically, almost to zero. It then bounces back up and will oscillate slightly before finding idle around 800-1000 rpm.
oddly enough, I've only ever been completely stranded by failed alternators. once in my '98 Jetta GLX VR6 and once in my '09 Outback 3.0R
Duralast coils are known to be problematic
My go to wipers are Trico (love the onyx) but even though they say they will fit my car, I cannot for the life of me get them on.
