Performing regular maintenance on your car is very important to ensure the longevity and economy of your vehicle. However, most people don't know how or what they need to check in order to make sure the car stays in tip-top shape. Although you could go to a dealer or service shop for regular maintenance, there is no reason to spend the money if you can learn how to check things on your own. Therefore, I've assembled a guide to teach you how to look and what to look for when you perform a car service check.

The first thing you need to look at is the exterior of the vehicle, both around and underneath. If you see cracked or peeling tires, then obviously you need to replace them, but it is also important to check for leaks. A good sign of a leak of any type will be a small amount of liquid underneath the car. If you see black, then it is probably oil, if it is green than you most likely have a leak in your cooling system.

You also want to check the fluid levels under the hood to make sure they are all at proper levels. Check the engine oil (usually very easy to find), coolant levels, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission or transaxle fluid, and window washer fluid. All of these are important to top off as required to prevent your car from breaking down. Also, when you check your oil, if you see that it is very dark black, then you probably need to change it. Keeping your motor oil fresh is one of the easiest ways to keep a car's engine in top shape.

Once you've checked fluids, you need to look at the hoses, wiring, and sparkplugs. Check to make sure that everything is tight, that the insulation is intact, and that there are no cracks or holes in any of the wires or tubes. A vacuum leak, electrical short or loose sparkplug can all sideline your car, so take the time to look through every part of the engine compartment.

Once you've been under the hood, you have finished most of the car service check. Still, as a final check make sure that your lights, front and back, right and left, all work and that your break and emergency lights work as well. Test your horn, wipe off your lights, and make sure your wipers are still good to go. Once you've done all of these things, then you've done 90% more than most vehicle owners will do and as a result your car will run smooth and you'll know when something is wrong.

When it comes time to do a large repair, such as something inside the engine or underneath the body, or check something you don't understand, then I agree that you should take it in to get serviced, but there is no reason why you can't do the little things on your own and save a ton of cash in the process.

Two Cheap Volkswagen Upgrades

If you own a Golf, GTI or Jetta, and you’re looking for some inexpensive upgrades, read on.  We’ll start with two Volkswagen performance upgrades that are going to make the biggest impact for the lowest cost.  The first area of topic will be your VW's suspension. 

An upgrade to your suspension is a night and day difference from stock. Let's start at the strut towers. When you turn corners, your strut towers do not move in sync, they move independently. That movement is called stress. Thus, when the car leans, different stresses occur to each strut tower. To reduce give in your car, it's best to install an upper stress bar. Take for instance the ABD Racing Upper Stress Bar. It's got a twin tube design which helps reduce flexing and twisting when cornering. The install for an upper stress bar is relatively simple. Set stress bar into place, mark holes for drilling, drill, drop hardware into holes, place in stress bar, and bolt down.

For the test drive, head out to to the freeway and take a spin. The first thing you're likely to notice is that bumps will feel more stable and even. Without a stress bar in place, you'll feel one corner of the car rise up when bumps are hit. With the stress bar in place, it should be blatently obvious that one side of the car no longer flexes and gets pushed up. The whole front end now disperses the shock of a bump more evenly. When cornering, you'll find that there's not as much lean in the car. This will add to the 'ride on rails' feel as you continue to upgrade suspension parts. If you want to stiffen up the back end a bit, a rear stress bar is about the same price as a front.

Our next area of topic is the air intake system. If you're looking for a little pep in your step, and some growl under the hood, then you've found your next modification. Several companies put out good quality cold air intakes, but Euro Sport Accessories' Cool-Flo Race Air Intake System seems to accommodate the widest range of VW models. Even if you've got an old Volkswagen with a CIS/E fuel injection system, you can still boost performance and feel results. Don't let that fuel dizzy fool ya! Install is relatively easy, more time consuming than hard to understand.

The other great perk about Euro Sport's Cool-Flo Intake is that there are no more filters to buy, the filter is re-usable! Simply remove filter, rinse with water until clean, let stand to dry, re-oil, and back on she goes! That's roughly $10.00 savings every time you go to get your oil changed. (ok, maybe every other time) Either way, it's money in the bank for two more cheap upgrades!

Part II of this III part series is on the way.

in gerneral is a volkswagen jetta cheap to repair. like oil change and spare parts and things like that?

cars are cars, if they are common like the jetta any auto parts chain will have all the basic parts for tuneup, starters n such.

u can also buy a repair manual and learn to be self sufficient, if u have a garage, i have saved thousands thru the years doing the basics my self, the key is to not use the vw dealership, they are scams and wiil cost 3 times more but remember there are scams every where, my best luck has been indy vw repair shops, the ones who are vw enthusiasts.
