😐 NEUTRAL

That's the PCV Valve, on the 2.5L motor it's integrated into the valve cover and not available as a separate part. If the PCV is bad you will need to replace the valve cover

😐 NEUTRAL

There are pcv rebuilds out there, but just go to FCP Euro and get the valve cover and gasket. They have a great lifetime warranty on practically everything they sell.

😐 NEUTRAL

The part you researched is the correct for the circled area. You should replace the MAF if it causes an error

😐 NEUTRAL

You have a 2.5 liter engine probably the CBT engine code I would think. What you are looking for is the PCV valve as others have said. I recommend getting the whole valve cover as just replacing the diaphragm doesn't work as they always break after 2 weeks or less. The PCV valve you have looked up is for at 2.0tsi engine I believe CCTA code Also not all 2.5 have MAF sensors most just have MAP sen

👍 POSITIVE

I have owned multiple VWs including 3 Jettas in the last 25 years All were incredibly reliable. I currently drive a Tiguan and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I love it

👍 POSITIVE

Poor maintenance. That is people describe toyotas as bullet proof. They survive poor maintenance better and have less maintenance issues. But go drive a corolla and them drive a jetta and tell me which brings you joy and which drives like a gokart. Vw all day just maintain it

👍 POSITIVE

My 2003 Jetta TDI ran like a top but anything electrical in it was fucked, especially the door sensors. My 2019 Golf Alltrack with 90,000 miles on the clock sounds and feels like the day I bought it. I love it.

👎 NEGATIVE

I’d like to get out of mine. But I owe more than it’s worth. 2019 Passat Wolfsburg. But I’ve had to replace the engine - leaking oil more than VW could pinpoint. They replaced it under warranty. I’ve also replaced the transmission because it just failed and wouldn’t shift anymore. They found metal in trans fluid and replaced it under warranty. Now I’m gun shy. I have no more warranty left (o

👍 POSITIVE

I live in Canada and in my city, the A7 generation of the Jetta is very popular with taxi companies and ride share drivers. They have to be reliable to put in the hours of service that is required for that line of work and all the extremes of the seasons (from bitter cold and windchill of winter to the extreme heat and humidity of summer).

👍 POSITIVE

I tell you I don't trust that jd power reliability crap. You see top 3 Americans brands on top and are all junk.... Dodge, Ford, Chrysler, gmc, Cadillac. Like wtf... I can count on 1 hand this winter I seen a vw Jetta on side of the road or stranded, lil lone causing an accident. People jus don't take care of vehicles is what it is. Jetta been more reliable and next to no rust living in Midwest s
