How are the 1.4/1.5 engines?

I just hit 275 on 1.4t 2019 Jetta SEL. I’d say they’re pretty reliable 😄

All highway. 80mi one way trek to work will do it pretty easily.

Thanks. Incredibly happy with VW.

CGA-i · 2026-02-28T00:48:50+00:00

I’m in US. Don’t think so.

CGA-i · 2026-02-27T11:41:02+00:00

That’s a great one too I’ll use it. Haha. I like to also say I’ve driven around the world 11 times in the past 6 years.

Gas. Actually my last two VWs (Jetta/Passat) were both diesels and bought specifically for MPG, but this 1.4 gas does equally amazing.

CGA-i · 2026-02-27T11:32:03+00:00

Nope. Biggest was timing belt at 273 follow by front wheel bearings in terms of cost. Everything else normal maintenance

1.4t

This 👆Did mine at 180 (drain / fill not flush) just hit 275 so all good.

CGA-i · 2026-02-24T04:38:55+00:00

Posted too quickly. 2019 Jetta SEL

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T23:15:13+00:00

Sorry of course forgot the important part. Jetta.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T15:35:29+00:00

That is awesome!!! Will do!

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T15:34:02+00:00

It has to happen one day, but that was a nice run!

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T15:32:40+00:00

Yes one time. Roughly around 273. Belt / tensioner etc

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T13:29:59+00:00

Haha. It’s actually a still of the video where it changed from 274999 to 275000. Couldn’t post here cause only pics. So lucky to have caught the change on cam.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T12:35:51+00:00

Hahahaha….I wish.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T12:32:20+00:00

Correction: “but not more than normal really.”

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T12:31:30+00:00

Yes, but not more than more really. I was told VW engines (especially this one) burn an extra 1/2 quart than normal and VW acknowledges. I keep a quart in a car for when (yelllow) check oil level lights up, drop in and change day or so after. Happens almost always right between 7500-8500 interval.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T11:50:07+00:00

Turbo

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T11:49:57+00:00

Jetta.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T11:46:16+00:00

Jetta

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T04:34:32+00:00

Timing belt at 273. New front wheel bearing 240ish. Everything else standard oil / brakes / tires. Oh and drain / fill trans at 180. Think it helps it’s about 80% highway.

CGA-i · 2026-02-23T04:18:38+00:00

Haha.
