Usually, your car needs to be serviced after a particular mileage or period, according to the manufacturer's guidelines. However, that doesn't mean there's no chance you'll VW service before the next scheduled maintenance period. There are moments when you feel something is off about your car, but you can't pinpoint the issue. 1. Unusual Noises Any strange noises coming from your car should be inspected and addressed the moment you notice them. This is because they could be the start of a problem that could potentially become serious. Common examples of strange noises include crunching gears, a squeaking belt, uneven engine noise, and knocking sounds. These sounds could occur due to several reasons, such as low fluid levels or worn out parts. VW technicians will locate the location of the sound and remedy the issue through oiling, part replacement, or tightening loose bolts and parts. 2. Car Shaking While Braking Have you ever felt your car vibrating while applying brakes? If so, then your brake pads or discs are probably worn out or your vehicle has a suspension or steering problem. Since it's difficult to pinpoint the cause of your car shaking, visiting a VW dealer for servicing is quite helpful. Driving while your car is shaking could worsen the problem by damaging a costly part. So, the sooner you schedule car service, the better. more 3. Reduced Gas Mileage If you find you're using more gallons of gas to cover a certain distance than before, then there's something wrong. The reason for this issue varies, but the bottom line is that it will cost you more in gas. Possible causes for this issue include a dirty air filter, high idling, a bad thermostat, worn-out tires, and bad spark plugs. The best way to know your specific issue is by getting a VW service as soon as possible. 4. Constant Warning Lights Every time you get warning lights on your dashboard, it means that you have an issue that needs to be resolved. While in most cases they're usually specific, such as the light for low tire pressure, there are other lights that need diagnostic services. VW dealers have the right tools to check your car and identify the underlying problem. It's never a good idea to ignore these. For example, ignoring the light for a worn-out timing belt could lead to costly repairs or even an engine replacement. 5. Increased Exhaust Smoke An increase in your exhaust smoke could also be a sign of trouble. In most cases, you can usually tell by the color of the smoke. While color means coolant is leaking in the engine, black smoke is an indication that the combustion chamber is getting excess gas, and blue color means your oil is burning. Be sure to work with VW technicians to fix the issue. Whenever you notice trouble with your car, it's best to get professional help before the issue worsens.

Luckily, the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta is packed full of features to assist you with blind spots, lane maintenance, and a lot more. 1.

If you don't apply pressure to the brake pedal, Front Assist will step in and apply the brakes for you. 2.

The sensor automatically detects when you meet on-coming vehicles and, switches the Jetta's headlights to low beam until the vehicle passes and then returns the headlights to high beam functionality, which is a great benefit of this feature. more 3. 2020 Volkswagen Jetta Adaptive Cruise Control With ACC, the Jetta will maintain a preset distance and speed from the car traveling in front of you. If the car in front of you slows down, adaptive cruise control slows your car down, while keeping a predefined distance between both cars. 4.

From driver personalized seat and mirror adjustments to map navigation and favorite radio stations, everything you need for a safe, comfortable ride is just a touch away. The digital display also includes: Speedometer Tachometer Phone Driver assistive systems Compass 5. The Blind Spot Assistant Sometimes you just can't see everything, and the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta has your back with Blind Spot Assist.

The available Volkswagen Care prepaid maintenance plans are a great way to keep your car running smoothly with little effort on your part. This specific program has a couple of different plans that you can choose from based on the model year of your vehicle. Here are a few details about the various Volkswagen maintenance plans. The Volkswagen Care Program The Volkswagen Care Program offers up to seven prepaid maintenance plans so that you can choose the plan that's right for you. These seven plans are the Volkswagen Care Basic, the Volkswagen Care Extra, the Volkswagen Care Package 1, Package 2, Package 3, Package 4, and Package 5. It's important to note that the Volkswagen Care Package 1 is only available to purchase at participating authorized Volkswagen dealerships. more If you're certain you want a Volkswagen prepaid plan, you can go ahead and purchase it at the same time you buy or lease the vehicle; however, you have up until the first scheduled maintenance interval listed under the plan to actually purchase it. This gives you a little bit of time to come to a final decision. In the event that you do decide to purchase a plan at the time of sale or lease, then you may be able to wrap the cost of the plan into your vehicle loan or lease, but you'll need to check with your dealership or loan company first. Benefits of a Volkswagen Care Plan When you purchase a Volkswagen Care plan, you receive coverage for the manufacturer-recommended maintenance services as well as protection from price inflation, thanks to the fixed parts and labor costs. You'll also save yourself some stress trying to find a mechanic that knows Volkswagens because each service you receive will be performed by a Volkswagen certified technician using genuine Volkswagen parts. With regularly scheduled maintenance, you'll be at peace on the road knowing that your vehicle is safe and ready to go. Regular maintenance also helps your car maintain its future resale value in the event that you decide to trade it in or sell it. Another bonus of the Volkswagen Care Program is its 24-hour roadside assistance that is included for all 2016 and newer Volkswagen vehicles. This roadside assistance includes flat tire service, free towing, fuel delivery, battery jump start service, and more. Specifics of a Volkswagen Care Prepaid Maintenance Plan Each Volkswagen Care plan offers slightly different mileage intervals. The Volkswagen Care Basic Plan is available for 2016 models through 2019 models. It offers the 10,000-mile and 20,000-mile scheduled maintenance as mentioned in your Volkswagen's maintenance guide. For 30,000-mile scheduled maintenance, you can purchase the Volkswagen Care Extra plan. It's available for model years 2014 and newer. The Volkswagen Care Packages 1 through 5 can also be purchased for model years 2014 and newer with the exception of the Volkswagen Routan. Each of these packages follows the recommended maintenance services varying from 30,000-mile intervals to 80,000-mile intervals, depending on the package you choose.

While your vehicle is probably a cinch to drive, it's easy to forget that it's a complicated piece of machinery with a multitude of parts. Luckily, your vehicle has indicator lights to let you know if something needs your attention. In addition to common warning lights, there are a few others you need to be able to recognize so you can get your car serviced quickly if needed. Oil Pressure The oil pressure warning light looks like an old-fashioned oil can with a drop of oil coming out of it. It lights up to let you know that your oil is either low and should be refilled or that there's a problem with the oil circulation that needs to be addressed. Either way, when this light illuminates, it's time to take a peek into your oil reservoir. Tire Pressure The tire pressure warning light features a tire with an exclamation point in the middle. Usually, this means your tires have lost some air and should be refilled. Sometimes, it's an indication that your tire has a small puncture and should be patched or replaced. If after refilling the tire, the light illuminates again within a few days, take it to a technician to see if they can find a hole. more Engine Temperature The engine temperature warning light looks like a thermometer with a couple of wavy lines underneath it. This light will illuminate when your engine is overheating. Engines can overheat for a variety of reasons, so it's best to visit a technician to identify the problem quickly before any damage occurs to your vehicle. Engine Warning The engine warning light is the image of an engine. When it lights up, it indicates that there's a problem somewhere under the hood. While this light is pretty non-specific, it is helpful to know that you should take your car in and have it checked before any damage occurs. If the check engine light is flashing rather than just illuminated, pull over immediately and call for help as the flashing indicates a major and urgent issue. Battery Alert The battery alert warning looks like a battery with a plus sign on one side and a minus sign on the other. If it's illuminated, then there's something amiss with the charging system in your vehicle. It could be the battery itself, but it could also be another component of the full charging system, so it's best to get it professionally checked out. Anti-Lock Brake System The anti-lock brake warning light is a circle with ABS in the center and parentheses on either side. The ABS light indicates there's a problem with your anti-lock brake system. This system helps keep your car safely connected to the road, so it's important that it's in proper working order. While you don't need to know how to fix every problem under the hood of your vehicle, it's essential to recognize what the warning lights on your dashboard mean. If your Volkswagen is showing any of these warning lights, stop by Crain VW of Fayetteville so our technicians can take a look at it. Image via crainvw.com
