The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 is equipped with a timing chain. It is recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Coolant should be changed approximately every 60,000 miles. Spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles, unless they are copper, in which case they should be changed every 30,000 miles. Various engine issues may arise, such as oil leaks which need prompt repair, loose gaskets that should be tightened, and spark plug detachment causing problems. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate a quick oil change. Engine overheating is a serious issue that can potentially lead to car fires and even vehicle explosions.
