The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta has a timing belt in the engine to keep the cam timing in sync. This part needs regular replacement, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. It's crucial not to let it break, as this could lead to severe engine failure. When replacing the timing belt, it's recommended to also change the water pump since they are situated close together and can be difficult to access. Doing both at once can save you money on labor in the long run.
The 2019 Jetta with a 1.4-liter turbo engine is equipped with a timing belt that should be inspected at 225,000 kilometers. If the belt is not replaced at 225,000 km, it should be checked every 30,000 km thereafter.
Does the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta come equipped with a timing chain?
The 2019 Jetta equipped with a 1.4L engine has a timing belt. Recently, I replaced mine and personally witnessed it. I've heard, although I can't verify, that the 2.0L engine on the GLI model uses a timing chain.
