80k service interval

« on: February 10, 2008, 04:01:02 PM »
My Jetta (2.0L) has about 80k miles on it now. Anything need checked on or serviced? I just had the oil changed (done every 5k miles). Timing belt? Fuel system? Anything, or just keep driving it? I don't have a manual for the car.

Service at 80,000 miles:
spark plugs
air filter
pollen filter
oil/filter change
we also do a tire rotation, obd/ dtc inspection, checklist stuff.
timing belt due at 100,000 miles/ 5 years.  Be mindful of this one.  If you pop the belt, valves will be bent on a 2.0 liter.

Thanks Rick. Air filter is good, oil and filter was just changed, and tires were rotated 5k miles ago. I guess all that leaves is the pollen filter and spark plugs. Where is the pollen filter located?

Timing belt is what I was really curious about...looks like I still have a little ways to go.

Sorry, Russ....been a bit busy/ haven't been on here in a while.
Pollen Filter is located in the upper plenum area, base of the windshield.  the cover is the one on the passenger side with the four screws in it.  Be advised that most people break one of the tabs off when putting the cover back in when trying to do this one, thoough.  It can be tricky the way that it fits in place.  be careful and take your time, you should be O.K.
