I would buy from a local store. Most auto parts stores will install the battery for you. $200 is the norm where I live. The nearest COSTCO is too far away to consider.
It could be the wiper arm. It could be the linkage. No way to know without disassembly.
Underbody rust would be the deciding factor for me.
There should be a diagram in the owners manual that shows the procedure and what a good level is. As a general rule, you check the oil level on a cold engine on a level surface:
- Remove the dipstick and wipe it off with a paper towel.
- Note the marks for min and max.
- Insert the dipstick fully
- Wait 1 second
- Remove the dipstick and see if the oil is between the min and max.
Possibly the battery. You should have it tested to be sure.
Automotive starters are not normally repairable in the field. It is much more common today to replace them.
I would get a second opinion. That seems really high.
There is a lot more to misfire than swapping plugs. The root cause is something else. Find another shop.
In my opinion you are fine.
Top it off with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water.
I am one of those people that changes synthetic oil and filter every 10,000 miles. All of my vehicles have gone at least 15 years and 165,000 miles with extended drain intervals. Old habits like to 3,000 and 5,000 mile changes are hard to break. That said, many here will say oil is cheap. True. My time is a factor as well. You know better than anyone else how the car is driven.
You did not get a rebuild. You got a repair. The solenoids were not cleaned and the bands were not adjusted. I will bet the clutch packs were not inspected either.
Just my opinion but to OP asked about Jetta. I think the 2011 to 2015 VW TDI engines were great. Sadly VW cheated and ruined a good thing.
A transmission shop might be better equipped.
If there is no fluid leak you will be okay.
The only way to know is to read your policy.
The high pressure fuel pump on your vehicle is cam driven based on my research. I do not believe low fuel in the tank is related. That type of pump had high failure rates on several Volkswagen models. The solution was to inspect the pump every 40,000 miles and replace the cam follower.
I suspect you are leaking transmission fluid. I’ll bet it is the front pump seal. No way to know without someone taking a look.
Not true.
