What were you looking at purchasing a new vehicle, or do your want to take care of your current vehicle? Maintaining a good running point is always important, and it’s more important than ever with sites like Carfax that are readily available to have your car’s history. So here are some tips that will help you maintain your vehicle in good running condition. So you don’t have to worry about these showing up later on. Tip Number 1: EngineKeep your engine and engine compartments together with your pulse wagon radiator fins and grill as clean as possible. When the engine is clean, it runs more smoothly and doesn’t overheat too quickly. Tip Number 2: Fuel FilterThis is often overlooked, assuming yours is a fuel-injected car. The fuel filter is more or less on continuous duty whenever your car is on. While the vehicles on the fuel pump are actively preventing impurities from closing injectors, your replacement will be necessary over time. It would be best if you changed this out every two years or 24,000 miles. Tip Number 3: Air FilterMost often, if something is out of sight, it’s out of mind. This is no different from an air filter, the air for the engine and the airflow sensors need to be free of contaminants, and that’s the air filter’s job. If you try to breathe through your mouth, place your hand over it. It makes a living harder; the same applies to the filter when it gets too many contaminants. You’re essentially suffocating your vehicle and not providing proper airflow for it to operate. Tip Number 4: Timing BeltThe timing belts play a vital role in your vehicle by keeping the alternator and water pump active. Inside some cars, the timing belt keeps valves from bashing into the pistons. When the belt fails, it’s a piece of bad news. Your progress will cease, and you could be facing some major engine work. Tip Number 5: BrakesThe brakes are vital maintaining to help keep you and others safe while driving. This is something that gets ignored frequently—preventing that messes drama-free. Just check the fluid level, keep an eye on the brake pad condition and replace it when the safety is compromised. FAQ – Volkswagen Jetta Maintenance ServiceHow much oil does the 2019 VW Jetta take?
