The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta equipped with a 2.5 liter engine comes with a timing chain instead of a timing belt for increased durability and longevity. The chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, which is typically around 200,000 miles or at least 10 years. If the chain becomes damaged, it is covered by a warranty of 100,000 miles or 10 years. In the event that you need to replace the chain yourself, it can cost between $195 and $379, while professional installation by a mechanic can add an additional $124 to $483 in labor costs.
