2015 Volkswagen Jetta SEL

2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SEL 1.8T 106K MILES NEW TIMING CHAIN $1,500+ RIDGELINE RECONDITIONING 106,568 Miles | Stock #J1059 VIN: 3VWL07AJ8FM331439 1.8L Turbocharged Direct-Injection 4-Cylinder | 170 HP | Automatic | Front-Wheel Drive If you're looking for an affordable sedan that still feels substantial, comfortable and fun to drive, this 2015 Volkswagen Jetta SEL 1.8T is a great one to consider. This isn't the base-engine Jetta. The SEL is powered by Volkswagen's 1.8L turbocharged direct-injected engine producing 170 horsepower, and this particular car has just over 106K miles. More importantly, we've already taken care of one of the big-ticket maintenance items we'd want addressed before selling a 1.8T Volkswagen: We replaced the timing chain assembly. RIDGELINE RECONDITIONED NEW TIMING CHAIN This Jetta went through Ridgeline Automotive, our full-service repair facility, before being offered for sale. We invested $1,598.18 into its current mechanical preparation. The biggest item was a complete timing chain replacement, including: - New Cloyes Timing Chain Kit - New Elring Timing Cover Gasket Set - New Fel-Pro Crankshaft Seal Kit - Timing Chain Labor - New Full Synthetic European 5W-40 Engine Oil - New NAPA Gold Oil Filter - BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration - BG MOA Advanced Formula Oil Treatment - New Headlight Bulbs - New Front Belly Pan / Undercover - Multipoint Safety Inspection - Full Vehicle Road Test The timing-chain job alone totaled $1,160.40, including $850.20 in labor and $310.20 in parts. That's meaningful work on a 1.8T Volkswagen and money the next owner doesn't have to immediately spend. FULL SYNTHETIC EUROPEAN OIL SERVICE + BG ENGINE SERVICE We didn't simply change the timing chain and send it out the door. The engine received 5.8 quarts of 5W-40 full-synthetic European oil, a NAPA Gold filter, BG EPR and BG MOA. BG EPR is used as part of our engine-service process to help clean deposits and restore oil flow, while MOA is added to the fresh oil. It's an extra step that costs us more than a basic oil change, but it's part of how we prepare the vehicles we intend to retail. WHY THE JETTA SEL? The Jetta has always been one of our favorite alternatives to the typical compact sedan. It gives you a more substantial European driving feel while still being practical and economical enough to use every day. And the SEL is the version we'd rather have. You're getting the stronger 1.8T turbo engine rather than buying the car strictly because it's inexpensive transportation. With 170 horsepower, the 1.8T has plenty of power for highway merging and Colorado driving without giving up the practicality that makes a Jetta such a good commuter. 22 DOCUMENTED SERVICE RECORDS This Jetta has a substantial documented maintenance history. CARFAX shows 22 service-history records and four previous owners, with the vehicle most recently owned in Colorado. The history includes documented: - Oil and filter changes - Factory scheduled maintenance - Battery replacements - Brake inspections - Cabin air filter replacement - Coolant services - Fuel-system service - Spark plug replacement - Suspension inspections - Sway bar link replacement - Tire rotations - Safety inspections - Colorado emissions testing One particularly good service visit occurred at 58,091 miles at Volkswagen Santa Monica, where the Jetta received a maintenance inspection, coolant service, engine computer reprogramming, fluid checks and new spark plugs. It continued receiving documented maintenance after that, including oil services and a sway-bar-link replacement.
