Generation V

The first show of the representative of the fifth generation Volkswagen Jetta took place back in January in 2005 in Los Angeles, at the annual auto show. As a result, fans of the Volkswagen Jetta car noted the fact that if it was previously believed that this model in a sense, another variation of the Golf class, but now, the 5th generation is becoming “ people's car» . All this is mainly due to the Kaluga assembly, which made it possible to reduce the cost of the model by almost 8%. Volkswagen Jetta V generation in 2009 was presented in three main trim levels of mass production: Highline, Trendline and Sportline. Despite the fact that buyers were offered basic equipment at a very low price, its equipment was not affected by this. Next, let's look at what's new in the optional equipment of the JettaV model.

Equipping the car with options

It is worth saying that even the most budget modification Volkswagen sedan 2009 onwards had options such as:

• 4 ESP, power steering;
• air conditioner;
• mirrors with heating and electric drive;
• audio system with four speakers;
• four airbags;
• EBD+ABS and comfortable heated seats.

As long-term practice of operating a Jetta car shows, its strong point considered brakes and clear ABS work, which allow the driver, if necessary, to reduce speed without additional actions on his part, namely active steering. Well, in terms of handling, it is worth noting good control traffic situation, due to numerous electronic systems security. The only drawback is the lack of rear view visibility and a long clutch pedal travel. As for the “luxury” serial versions of the Volkswagen Jetta, here, among the whole variety of models presented in the 5th generation additional options worth highlighting:

1. saloon 4-zone climate control;
2. rain and light sensors, parking sensors;
3. original colors leather interior.

Thus, the Jetta V models brought into the country from Germany also had an expensive beige leather interior trim, complemented by woodgrain inserts. Deciding to purchase a VW Jetta 5 2009, you will see how the factory coating of special varnishes and paints perfectly resists any mechanical stress and pleases with its brightness and radiance for a long time. As a result, in terms of optional equipment, interior quality and body reliability, the 2009 JettaV. can safely compete for leadership with most cars in its class.

"Khodovka" Volkswagen Jetta

All chassis and optional equipment of the car 2009 onwards. borrowed from the ancestor of the "C" class. Officially delivered from Germany, Volkswagen cars have a sedan body, but other configurations of this model are also sold in European countries. So here you can see Volkswagen Jettou V in the new transformation station wagon. The Jetta V has an energy-intensive suspension that combines a light ride with good controllability. The most vulnerable parts of this Volkswagen models Jetta, released in 2009, are steering column tips, the safety margin of which is enough for 60,000 km, but this indicator is most often not overcome if the car owner tries not to operate the car on broken or bumpy roads. All other components, namely silent blocks, springs, stabilizer struts and levers, can easily “run” 150,000 km. Proverb: “If you like to ride, love to carry sleds!” great for the 2009 VW Jetta, because by 90,000 km, the service life of the brake pads is coming to an end. And their replacement with original pads at official dealer Volkswagen costs a lot - about 12 thousand rubles. So, the reliability of the suspension can recoup on the buyer at the cost of consumable spare parts.

German quality Volkswagen as always on top

Volkswagen Jetta V don't lose High Quality, and this applies not only to the chassis or interior. As always, the selection was impeccable. power units where you can see various modifications engines in terms of volume and power. For Russian market Volkswagen cars The 2009 Jetta, V series, was offered with three petrol engine options. It was possible to take the unit for 1.4 liters, 1.6 liters and 2.0 liters. The power of these engines was respectively 140 hp, 102 hp. and 150 hp

Jetta V Exterior

As for the transmission, only the small engine was in symbiosis with robotic gearbox DSG, and other modifications of the engines were supplemented either by "mechanics" or "automatic" Tiptronic. For VW Jetta V diesel engines of 1.9 and 2.5 liters, here the maximum power of the first option was recorded in the region of 105 hp, and the second - 200 hp. But, in general, such a selection of “siloviki” makes the 2009 Jetta V lineup the most attractive in its class. The functionality of all Volkswagen units and related electronic systems does not raise any doubts, however, according to the reviews of car owners of this model, there is a small “fly in the ointment” that spoils the whole picture. In winter, moisture and snow can get under the accelerator pedal, which as a result freezes and turns into a piece of ice. The whole problem is that the pedal is structurally located practically on the floor, and “foreign objects” falling under it make it unusable, because the mount cannot withstand the effort and eventually breaks.

The main competitors of the VW Jetta V

Today, thanks to the large number of attractive offers among car dealerships, for the 2009 JettaV model. There is a whole army of competitors in this price segment. So the closest competitors of the Volkswagen Jetta 2009 onwards. are considered: Mitsubishi Lancer x, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla and Opel Astra. Despite the fact that the optional add-ons for each of the listed representatives are purely individual, in general, these are models that have a similar level of price-to-package ratio. Thus, speaking of this generation of JettaV 2009 onwards. it is impossible not to notice that it was with this model that the era of the availability of C-class cars began. Volkswagen set the fashion for potential buyers not to overpay for the brand, but to be able to appreciate the true German quality for a relatively low cost. To date, this trend is not only moving towards an increase, but will also expand the audience of fans of Volkswagen cars.

Sales market: Russia.

Volkswagen Group introduced a new generation of Bora/Jetta sedans in January 2005 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The European premiere took place in autumn in Frankfurt. The Jetta sedan is built on the platform of the fifth generation VW Golf, from which it received a multi-link rear suspension and electric power steering. The design of the Jetta is endowed with similarities with the older Passat B6 model: in the front there is a large chrome grille reaching the lower edge of the bumper, and rear lights similar to the Passat are installed. The range of engines for the Russian market includes diesel and gasoline, turbocharged and atmospheric power units with a volume of 1.4 to 2.0 liters, with a capacity of 102-150 hp. Jetta sales began in 2008 Russian assembly With Volkswagen plant in Kaluga.

The fifth-generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan has an attractive interior design in typical VW style. Finished with soft plastic expensive trim levels wheel and gearshift lever are leather-trimmed. In standard equipment basic configuration Includes adjustable steering column, adjustable driver's seat in height, electric locks and windows, heated windshield washer nozzles, air conditioning, on-board computer. When choosing a more expensive sedan configuration, the buyer received headlight washers, LED taillights, adjustable lumbar support, pockets on the backs of the front seats, heated front seats. V maximum configuration there are multimedia system, 8 audio speakers, chrome trim, multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone climate control. The car went through a small update in 2008 - the design and equipment were updated.

Under the hood of the simplest Volkswagen Jetta 5 model is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 102 hp. At the top of the series of modifications proposed for the Russian buyer is the 2.0 FSI model with a 150 “horsepower” engine. If the first model takes about 12 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h, then the 2.0 FSI takes three seconds less. Jetta with a 1.4 TSI turbo engine (140 hp) is also sporty, but also economical. In dynamics, it is only slightly inferior to the version with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine (0-100 km / h in 9.8 seconds), but gasoline consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.3 liters, while 2.0 FSI this figure is 7.8 liters, while the base model has 6.8 liters. The most economical diesel models with direct injection- 1.9 TDI (105 hp) with a flow rate of 5.2 l / 100 km, and 2.0 TDI (140 hp) - 5.9 l / 100 km. At the same time, the more powerful 2.0 TDI is not bad in dynamics - 9.7 seconds. to "hundreds". Depending on modification Volkswagen engines Jetta were completed with 5- or 6-speed "mechanics", 6- or 7-band DSG robot or 6-speed "automatic".

The VW A5 (PQ35) platform on which the 5th generation Jetta sedan is built assumes a fully independent suspension all wheels - suspension struts MacPherson front and multi-link rear. The car has full disc brakes with ventilation on the front wheels. The electromechanical power steering adjusts the effort depending on the speed. The dimensions of the Jetta are as follows: length - 4554 mm, width - 1781 mm, height - 1459 mm. Wheelbase 2580 mm. Minimum turning radius - 5.5 m. Standard height ground clearance 135 mm, but for modifications for the Russian market, the declared figure is 170 mm. luggage compartment sedan has a volume of 527 liters. Backseat folds in parts (asymmetrically folding back), there is an opening for long lengths.

The Volkswagen Jetta's stringent safety approach determines the availability of standard equipment braking system with ABS, belts with tensioners and active head restraints, child seat mounts, front airbags (passenger - with deactivation function), side airbags and curtain airbags, indication of tire pressure drop. For a surcharge (or as standard in more expensive trim levels), an electronic stability control system was installed and traction control system, hill start assistant, rear and front parking sensors. The car received high marks in crash tests.

The Jetta sedan has a lot of advantages: excellent equipment, a completely “adult” exterior and quality interior very roomy trunk. Cons - weak base motor, often noted by owners increased consumption oils, weak paintwork. The car is demanding on maintenance (TSI and TDI engines especially). The suspension is hard.

Read completely

The Volkswagen Jetta is a compact class C car based on the Volkswagen Golf. With a common technical base, cars have similar operational features.

Engine

In the arsenal of the Jetta V, 1.6-liter 102 hp gasoline engines. and 115 HP, 1.4 TSI 122 and 140 HP, 2.0 L 150 HP and 2.0 TFSI 200 HP Turbodiesels 1.9 TDI 105 hp were also installed. and 2.0 TDI 140 hp Overseas Volkswagen Jetta were equipped with aspirated 2.5 l 150 hp. In Russia, the most widely used engines are 1.6 liters (102 hp), 1.4 TSI (122 hp) and 1.9 TDI (105 hp).

The 1.6 BSE / BSF gasoline unit has a timing belt drive with a replacement interval of 90 thousand km. But some services recommend carefully inspecting the condition of the belt already at a mileage of 60 thousand km. As practice shows, the belt by this time may already be worn out. The cost of a timing drive kit from dealers is about 5-6 thousand rubles, analogues can be purchased at an auto parts store for 3 thousand rubles.

A feature of the 1.6 liter engine is a slight vibration when operating in the mode idle move and unpleasant sounds from exhaust system when starting a cold engine. With a run of more than 60 - 100 thousand km, there are problems with the normal start and stability of the engine at idle. The main reason for this is failed fuel injectors. Cleaning the nozzle does not return to life, the engine can be “cured” only after replacing them. Dealers offer a set of new injectors for 35-37 thousand rubles.

1.4 TSI engines with a run of more than 50 thousand km can begin to “grind” the first seconds after starting. The reason is the failure of the phase regulator. There are frequent cases when, after replacing the phase regulator, the rattle reappeared after 20 - 30 thousand kilometers.

On 1.9 TDI turbodiesels, the so-called “overblowing effect” is often encountered - traction suddenly disappears. This is especially annoying when overtaking. There are several reasons: “staking” of the turbine, failure of the boost control valve or the electrovacuum boost valve control relay.

Due to the failure of the engine mount, with a run of more than 100 - 120 thousand km, knocks may appear in the front of the car. The source of the knock is difficult to diagnose, and many believe that the cause is in the front suspension.

Transmission

Jetta engines were aggregated with 5 and 6-speed "mechanics", 6-speed "automatic" and a gearbox with direct gear shifting DSG.

On cars with manual transmission, with a mileage of more than 80 - 120 thousand km, noise or “rattling” can be heard from the left side of the car. The reason lies in the input shaft bearing, release bearing or clutch. There is no definite answer to the question of who is to blame and what to do. The manufacturer recommends replacing the release bearing and clutch in such cases. The cost of work at dealers with components is about 17-20 thousand rubles. At the same time, there is no guarantee that the “tarakhtun” will not come to life after a while.

A 6-speed automatic transmission 09G with a mileage of more than 100 - 120 thousand km may require replacement of the valve block. A harbinger of impending trouble will be jerks when turned on reverse gear. Later, shocks appear when shifting gears and slipping. The cost of a new block is about 50 thousand rubles, and the work to replace it will cost 5 thousand rubles.

The automatic DSG 6 Volkswagen Jetta V was completed until the end of 2009, later they began to install DSG 7. DSG 6 turned out to be more reliable than the updated DSG 7. More often, owners complain about metallic clanging, vibrations and dots when shifting gears and slipping. Problems appear with a run of more than 30-60 thousand km. Dealers, on the recommendation of the manufacturer, replace the clutch and update the gearbox control program.

Chassis

Racks front stabilizer and support bearings of the front struts go more than 100 - 130 thousand km. Wheel bearings begin to "howl" with a run of more than 100 - 140 thousand km. With the same mileage, the front shock absorbers will also need to be replaced. The cost of new ones from dealers is about 8 thousand rubles, analogues in the spare parts store can be purchased for 2.5-4 thousand rubles.

With a run of more than 60 - 100 thousand km, the steering rack may knock. The new rail will cost 30 thousand rubles, and the work to replace it will cost about 6 thousand rubles. But don't be in a hurry to change. Often you can do with pulling (adjusting) the rail.

Due to a design flaw, with a run of more than 100 - 140 thousand km, the rear calipers begin to knock. Packing the guides with grease helps for a while. After replacing the guides themselves, the knock often reappears soon.

Other problems and malfunctions

Generally paintwork body does not cause big claims. The chrome emblem on the radiator grill and the chrome on the grill itself begin to warp and peel off after 3-4 years of operation.

In winter, melted ice or snow windshield flows down through the drainage channels to the pillar and forms an ice plug between the pillar, fender liner and door. When opening the door rests against the ice plug, and the outer panel of the door may be deformed. To prevent "troubles", dealers, on the recommendation of the manufacturer, install a drainage system and foam inserts.

Problems with door locks appear after 3-4 years of car operation. The reason is the failure of the lock motor or "mikrik". Dealers offer a new lock for 7-8 thousand rubles, "on the side" a new lock will cost 5 thousand rubles. Problems with locks also arise due to the “interruption” of wires in the protective corrugation. For the same reason, the power windows may not work properly.

2010 Jettas often have problems with headlights and taillights. The glass of the headlights from the temperature difference begins to crack. And the tail light diodes stop glowing. Dealers will replace defective lighting fixtures under warranty. Price rear light about 3-4 thousand rubles.

Salon Volkswagen Jetta may creak over time. Main problem areas- plastic lining of the front doors, instrument panel and plastic trim on the outside at the bottom of the windshield.

The need to replace the air conditioning compressor can be encountered with a mileage of more than 100 - 140 thousand km. A new compressor will cost 15-30 thousand rubles. Flushing the system will require another 10-15 thousand rubles, and the work to replace it will require about 5 thousand rubles.

The whistle of the climate fan with the onset of cold weather is a common occurrence. To get rid of extraneous noise, it is necessary to lubricate the fan motor bushing.

Conclusion

With a run of more than 100 - 140 thousand km, the generator may fail. Dealers produce only its aggregate replacement without repair for 25 thousand rubles. It is often possible to extend the life of the generator by repairing it for 3-5 thousand rubles.

31.08.2016

A large number of car enthusiasts choose the Volkswagen Jetta 5 because for an affordable price you get reliable car with good build quality and good equipment. But how reliable the golf-class sedan turned out to be, and whether it is worth considering this option for purchase, now let's try to figure it out.

Advantages and disadvantages of Volkswagen Jetta with mileage

The fifth generation Jetta was produced from 2005 to 2010 in two versions in the sedan and station wagon body, in the CIS only cars in the sedan body were officially sold. As the operating experience has shown, in general, the paintwork does not cause any special complaints, and the metal has good corrosion resistance, but despite the fact that the body is completely galvanized, weaknesses were still identified. When inspecting the car, carefully inspect the thresholds, the lower part front wing in the area of ​​​​the door and the lower part of the door, due to the fact that excess moisture accumulates under the splash guard, these parts begin to bloom, even small bugs will soon lead to big problems. Also, the junction between the rear wheel arch and the bumper is considered the weak point of the body; chips often appear at this junction, and then corrosion.

Engines

During the life of the fifth generation of the Volkswagen Jetta, there were three gasoline engines and two turbodiesel engines:

• Aspirated MPI 1.6 (102 and 115 hp)
• Turbo motor TSI 1.4 (122 and 140 hp)
• Two-liter engine FSI (150 hp) and TFSI (200 hp)
• TDI 1.9 (105 hp) and 2 liters (140 hp)

Motorists are often confused in the multiple letter designations of power units; in fact, they differ from each other in the presence or absence of a turbine, as well as an injection system. The weakest motor in 102 horsepower on a run of 70 - 80 thousand km, the timing belt roller often starts to howl. If the previous owner refueled the car with low-quality fuel closer to 100,000, a replacement will be needed fuel injectors It is worth noting that such repairs are not cheap. TSI engines and TFSI are high-tech and provide excellent dynamics and low fuel consumption; with intensive use, 250 - 300 thousand km are nursed without problems. But if you plan to use the car infrequently or for short trips, then you should not consider a car with such an engine if you don’t want to know what an open timing chain, burnt pistons, stuck rings and a running engine are.

Diesel engines have proven to be reliable and unpretentious in maintenance units, and if they are filled with good diesel fuel, they will serve you faithfully for 300 - 350 thousand km. If you want to buy a car with a two liter diesel engine then consider a car after 2008, since before that time nozzles with a pump were installed, which often fail, and their replacement and repair are not cheap, after 2008 the manufacturer eliminated this problem.

Transmission

There are three types of gearboxes available on the Volkswagen Jetta, five and six-speed manual, six-speed automatic and DSG robotic gearbox. robotic DSG boxes often called a sore spot for Volkswagen and Skoda cars, indeed the robot may not start working correctly after a run of 50,000 km. When driving in traffic jams, the life of the DSG transmission is significantly reduced, so if you plan to buy a car with a robotic transmission, avoid cars that were used in the metropolis, (repair robotic box will cost approximately 1000 USD).

A six-speed automatic with a run of 150,000 km may experience jerks when reverse gear is engaged (replacement of the valve block is required, repairs will cost about 500 USD). V mechanical transmission at a run of 100,000 km, clutch replacement will be required and release bearing, also on this run, the input shaft bearing often fails.

Suspension Volkswagen Jetta

Volkswagen Jetta, although built on the same platform with, has different chassis settings. The suspension of the car is quite soft, but at the same time, the car confidently keeps the set trajectory, and if you don’t get carried away driving on a bad road at high speed, the first repair will be needed after 50,000 km of run. The suspension can be safely called quite reliable, and if instead of a multi-link a beam was installed at the rear, then the suspension could be safely called very reliable, but the ride and handling would be completely different. The levers in front and in the back cannot be called flimsy, and if you carefully operate the car, they will last more than 150,000 km, silent blocks, stabilizer struts, shock absorbers nurse up to 100,000 km, brake pads serve 70 - 80 thousand km, disks are almost twice as long. steering rack has a small resource and can start knocking at a run of 100,000 km, this problem is often eliminated by pulling up.

Salon

Thanks to good quality finishing materials, even after many years of operation, the Volkswagen Jetta interior does not irritate drivers and passengers extraneous knock and creaking. Occasionally there are instances in which crickets appear in the dashboard in the cold season, but as soon as the cabin warms up a little, they disappear. The accelerator pedal here has a floor structure, so you should not save on branded floor mats, otherwise water will seep under the pedal.

Outcome:

Volkswagen Jetta calm family car, also quite often cars were purchased in corporate parking lots. If we consider the purchase of such a car on secondary market, then the most the best option there will be a car with atmospheric engine 1.6 paired with an automatic transmission or mechanics.

Advantages:

• Galvanized body.
• Convenient and comfortable fit.
• Moderately stiff suspension.
• The quality of interior finishing materials.
• Affordable price.

Flaws:

• Robotic transmission.
• Thresholds rot.
• Chassis problems after 80-90 thousand km.

If you are or have been the owner of this brand of car, please share your experience, indicating the strengths and weaknesses auto. Perhaps it is your review that will help others choose the right used car.

VW Jetta is a car for those who lack the solidity of Golf hatchbacks.

The fifth generation of the VW Jetta was created on the basis of the Golf V hatchbacks, and they have many components and assemblies in common. At the same time, the sedan differs not only in the rear, but also in the front - it has its own front bumper with a chrome-plated radiator grille, emphasizing solidity (the same, by the way, are used on Golf Variant station wagons). A slightly different line of powertrains that the Jetta was equipped with. And in general, the VW concern positions the sedan as a separate model, which in modern generations of these cars is emphasized by a completely individual design of the exterior and dashboard.

Surely not everyone knows that the Jetta, unlike the Golf, is not “German”, sedans were produced in Mexico. However, this did not affect the quality at all, and they are in no way inferior to their German "brothers".

As domestic operating experience has shown, Jetta V has no problems with corrosion resistance - even bare metal in places of paint chips resists the onslaught of the “red” disease for a very long time. The servicemen have no complaints about the condition of the body parts either.

The interior design is similar to hatchbacks - it does not surprise with modern frills, but at the same time it is very ergonomic (everything is in its usual places), and it takes a minimum of time to adapt to the car. The fabric lining used on most cars is notable for its good wear resistance, and a claim can only be made against the armrest of the driver's door. The only comment on visibility is due to the high line rear window and the sloping trunk lid edge of the "stern" is notvisible, so you should get used to the rear clearance.

Unlike the successor dashboard The Jetta V is similar to the Golf V hatchbacks. In general, the quality of the finish does not cause any complaints, only the fabric trim on the armrest of the driver's door can be criticized - over time, it is overwritten and loses its former gloss. Important advantage Jetta compared to its predecessor Bora - noticeably more legroom for rear passengers. The width of the gallery will normally accommodate three medium-sized passengers, however, as in most models of the VW concern, the massive central floor tunnel will interfere with the legs of the average passenger - therefore they will have to be placed on the sides.

An important advantage of the Jetta compared to its predecessor Bora is a noticeably larger supply of legroom for rear passengers: a tall person can easily sit behind him, and at the same time his knees will not rest against the backs of the front seats. In general, most salon equipment works without problems. Of the characteristic problems, one can note the failure of the air conditioning compressor on cars of the first years of production (see “Weaknesses”), as well as problems with power windows - when the glass is closed, it then goes down by itself. In most cases, the problem is solved by flashing the control "brains" or cleaning the guides.

Practical household motorists Jetta will please with its trunk, which has increased significantly compared to Bora - by 70 liters (525 liters in total). And in general cargo compartment Jetta is one of the largest competitors among the main sedans: 465 l Ford Focus, 420 liters for the Mazda 3 and 389 liters for the Honda Civic.

An extensive line of powertrains was intended for the Jetta V, and all are available in Ukraine. Officially sold cars equipped with gasoline engines 1.6L (with MPI and FSI fuel injection systems) and 2.0L FSI, as well as 1.9L and 2.0L turbodiesels. A “charged” 200-horsepower 2.0 liter TSI and 2.5 liter FSI engine (150 hp) was installed on the American versions of the model, which in our country are classified as exotic.

The most trouble-free was the "8-valve" 1.6 liter MPI. Its rarer "brother" of the same volume FSI is distinguished by a short-lived timing chain - it can stretch out and require replacement along with a hydraulic tensioner to 120-150 thousand km.

In 2.0 l FSI engines, a break in the factory corrugations of the exhaust system was noted (2 pcs. are used). The timing uses a toothed belt, which domestic minders advise changing together with rollers every 90 thousand km, since in practice it does not take care of the interval of 180 thousand km prescribed by the manufacturer.

General weakness, inherent in all FSI units, is the failure of individual ignition coils. Moreover, the manufacturer is aware of this problem and even organized a campaign for the free replacement of failed parts, including through domestic dealers.

Diesel units Jetta owners V is often praised for good traction and economy (actually fit into about 6 liters per "hundred".). The most massive of diesel units- with a volume of 1.9 liters, the least problematic. In 2.0-liter engines manufactured in 2005-2008, pump-injectors do not differ in reliability - when using domestic diesel fuel for 100 thousand km, they often fail (branded spare part - about 4 thousand hryvnias with the return of a broken ). Since 2008, VW has been installing upgraded 2.0 liter TDI engines with a more reliable and less demanding common rail injection system.

All comments! All Jettas are front wheel drive. Most of them are equipped mechanical boxes gears, although it is not uncommon for a version with Tiptronic automatic transmission and a proprietary robotic gearbox with two clutches - DSG.

Comments are available for all types of gearboxes. DSG turned out to be the least reliable - there were problems with the computer, the so-called mechatronics, which is manifested by jerks when switching. In 6-speed - as a rule, when switching from 1st to 2nd gear, and in 7-speed - also when reverse is turned on. In the best case, you can carry out self-adaptation of the clutch at a company service station by flashing the ECU, and if the wear is severe, you will have to change the clutch package.

V automatic boxes Tiptronic transmissions produced before 2008, the valve blocks that control gear shifting did not differ in reliability - they could fail at a range of 60–100 thousand km (manifested by twitching in motion).

"Mechanics" can create problems after 100 thousand km - wear of the double bearing of the gearbox is noted (manifested by increased noise of operation). At diesel versions by 150-160 thousand km, the dual-mass flywheel wears out (a characteristic knock when shifting gears).

A serviceable Jetta V suspension is moderately knocked down and works out bumps quite elastically. But thanks to these settings, it is great for active driving. The informative steering also contributes to this.

McPherson is used in front, and a “multi-link” is used in the back. Stabilizers on both axles roll stability. On our roads, the chassis has proven to be quite durable. In the front suspension, the rear silent blocks of the front levers fail the fastest (after 80 thousand km), the stabilizer struts can last about 100 thousand km, the front silent blocks - up to 140 thousand km, and the ball bearings - almost 200 thousand. km.

Jetta V has no problems with corrosion resistance - even bare metal in the places of paint chips resists the onslaught of the “red” disease for a very long time. In the rear "multi-link" to 100 thousand km, fenders wear out rear shock absorbers and "rubbers" of the stabilizer, and by 120-150 thousand km - silent blocks of the rear breakup levers ( original part in the collection - about 450 UAH.). At the same time, the "rubber bands" of the rest rear control arms are able to go almost 200 thousand km. Wheel bearings also last a long time, but when the time comes to replace them, you will have to fork out, since they only change as an assembly with hubs (both branded and non-original).

Reechnoye steering it is equipped with an electric amplifier, which on a car of the first years of production (2005-2006) could disturb - the gearing of the rail and the electric motor wore out (manifested by a characteristic knock). Later, this node was modernized, eliminating this problem. But the consumables of the steering serve a lot: tips - 100-150 thousand km, and the thrust itself is even longer.

You can only criticize brake system the oldest and most driven Jetta V.

Weak spots
