Volkswagen Jetta parts reviews

Yea I've used 5w40 syntec as well but seems like the dealerships in Canada are starting to use 5w30 and that I know for certain burns faster on my car. I'm not sure why the dealerships in Canada swapped over to 5w30 now but I always get Motul now. Although a bit more pricey, i intend to keep the car a long time

Me neither, I use the 5W-40 Syntec also and although I have a 2.5, from the 10k - 20k change it only used about .8 qts. If it's 502.00 it's a quality oil, doesn't really matter what it says on the bottle.

i've found that syntec 5w40 lasts, i've used otehr brands on my mkIV 2.slow and had oil consumption issues in the summer, but when i used 5w40 syntec i had no issues with burning oil, and have yet to see any with my 2.0T which is at 17000 km now, so its still kinda early to tell anything

I also have a 2006 2.0T Jetta and I have similar oil consumption rates. Try changing the brand of oil you use. I know the dealerships use Castrol Syntec. To me, it seems as if they're not as "durable". I swapped over to ELF for a while and that helped, and now I'm using Motul and this seems to be the best. I think my car burns around 1-2 qts every 5000kms.

I run HP+ now on the jetta and they scream when cold, I could care less, they stop really well when you need it.

Just following up on this- I replaced the water pump and that appears to have resolved the issue. I have been monitoring it frequently and there has definitely been no sign of coolant leaking under the car in the area it was doing it from.

I use a K & N passat filter. Its the same (I think) you get the added oil capacity.

Had the same problem with my 01 jetta. After I had replaced my mass air flow sensor, I forgot to set the idle air vol. So I took it to the dealer and had them set it for me and now my problem is gone.

Brakes: (front) StopTech 13.5” slotted Frodo, 944 Porsche pads, (rear) VR6 disc from 1996 Golf

Very hard tire, no traction and questionable quality. Lasted about 10K on my son's Jetta w/18's...
