The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
  • Jetta 1.4 TSI (90 kW) (2008-2010)
  • Electro-Hydraulic
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 24 months/ 30000 km

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Jetta 1K2 1.4 TSI (90 kW) uses an electro-hydraulic power steering system, which combines an electric motor with a hydraulic circuit rather than relying solely on engine-driven hydraulic pressure.
  • Rather than specifying a fixed fluid volume, the 2008-2010 1.4 TSI specification calls for the fluid level to be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, indicating a top-up or inspection approach rather than a full drain-and-fill service volume.
  • The inspection interval for the power steering fluid is set at 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, reflecting a time-and-distance dual-trigger service schedule.
