While Volkswagens condition-based approach avoids one-size-fits-all intervals, inspections are wise in high-heat environments to verify fluid integrity and linkage health. If you notice shift notchiness, new noises that change with gear, or seepage at seals, prompt evaluation can help protect synchros and bearings. Bring your 2023 Volkswagen Jetta to Larry H.
