I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)
my 2017 Passat got totaled in a accident this week, was at 205062 miles running strong off Liqui Molygen 5w-40.
I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.
For context i bought a 2008 passat estate with 149,000 miles on it for a 27 miles each way commute 3 years ago.
I got it and did a timing belt change straight away which was preventative and for peace of mind.
Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200. I buy it from FCP and return my used oil in the same container and get 100% of my money refunded through their lifetime warranty program.
I had a bad thermostat and it's only indication was the temp rising when going up hills under sustained load.
I replaced everything on my front suspension at 150,000. Went with Bilstein B4s, but I wasn't super happy with them when they were new. They're well-damped, but ride on the stiff side.
On a Jetta, it will leave you stranded, and it being a VW, the symptoms will be nothing like a dead battery, most likely.
La mine pirelli cinturato se aud ca o cărămidă după o vară și iarnă, zici că am rulmenții stricați.
Also don't opt for Zimmermann. Go ATE, TRW or Textar. Trust me. Been there regretted every penny I spend on those death traps.
