Replying to: jeffyscott (Jul 12, 2008 2:53 pm) The tricky part may be locating oil that meets those specs. 8-) Personally, I use only Pentosin oil in my VW. Pentosynth oils are made in Germany and used in thousands of VWs across Europe. In fact, Pentosin Oil is what VW engines have in when delivered from the factory. BTW: I also use pentosin Brake fluid and pentosin antifreeze. I once tried using Elf oil (Made in France) but found that my engine tended to consume it and needed oil added between oil-chagnes. There is another oil Total Quartz which actually meets VWs most stringent 505.00 spec.

Hey, does anyone have any info on changing the oil in a Jetta?
|
|
| Just purchased an '04 Jetta GL with the 2.0L engine. Question #1: I use Mobil 1 in all of my cars and am wondering if Mobil 1 meets VW specifications? Question #2: What is the VW oil filter part # and approximate cost? Question #3: Where is the cabin air (pollen) filter located and can anyone provide directions on replacing it with a new one and approximate cost of the cabin air filter? Thanks for you help in advance. | |

Does anyone know how to reset the maintenance reminder that comes on at 5000 miles on a 2008 Jetta 2.5? The owners manual only says it has to be reset. Doesn't say how. It says something to the effect 'if you have your oil changed by a dealer, they reset the reminder. if you have you oil set by a non authorized VW service center, have your VW dealer reset the reminder' ya... right. I'm gonna pay to take it to the dealer so they can push a button or something. has anyone does this on an 08 Jetta 2.5. Thx in advance

Replying to: tmorriss (Aug 29, 2008 5:24 pm) 1) Press and HOLD the trip-odometer button "0.0". 2) Turn your key on. 3) Release the trip-odometer button. 4) Push and release the Clock Minute Set Button "min". More detailed version: 1. Keys out of ignition- press and hold in trip odometer reset button "0.0" on right hand side of display 2. Still holding this button down, insert key into ignition and put to the on position without starting the car. 3. Display will read "service now" 4. let go of the "0.0" button and depress the "m" button on the left hand side of the display. this will re-set the service reminder. There is no confirmation on the display other than the words "service now" will disappear. You can confirm that the service reminder has been reset, or check how many miles/days remain until service at any time by taking key out of the ignition and holding in the trip reset "0.0" button for between 3 and 5 seconds. The MFD will display miles and hours until next service. These were posted as reset procedure for Rabbit (can not imagine Jetta would be different) on a VW forum.
