Ok4550, the timing belt was changed in 2011 (the car is from 2002). What do you think? Thanks!
Seeing as how the timing belt was changed in 2011 then I don’t think a couple of years of storage will hurt anything. At some point in the future after the car is put back into service again you might consider having the belt replaced again as that would make the belt going on 6 years or so old.
Sounds like a nice car with a lot of life left in it. I’m a VW fan in spite of the bad rap they get (and which is not always deserved).
A number of fellow VW mechanics with whom I worked, including myself, considered the Jetta the best of the lot along with the Golf.
Thank you, Ok4450! I am Jetta fan too.
I’m sure lots of VW mechanics love the Jetta. 
I’ve worked for 2 VW dealers (both were multi-line) and never found the VWs to be any more problematic than the other lines of cars.
While a VW is on the rack for a warranty brake line replacement or electrical glitch the Subaru on the next rack may be getting head gaskets or CV shafts and/or tie rods or the Honda a few lifts down that was towed in is getting a new ignition switch, main relay, igniter, or a failed auto transmission.
For every problem laid at the feet of one car model there is a separate (and sometimes identical) problem laid at the feet of another.
Even SAABs are better than the bad rap they get. I worked for SAAB and saw few complaints other than parts delays or high regular maintenance costs. The regular maintenance was very thorough so higher cost is to be expected.
The knuckles bleed equally no matter the make or model… 
Now Fiat, that was a different kettle of fish…
Fun to drive; everything else related to them reeks.
FIAT ---- FIX IT AGAIN TONY
A multi-line dealer I worked for took on a Fiat franchise and in spite of a collective groan from all of in the shop they plowed ahead anyway.
Taking on that Fiat franchise also closed the coffin door on the dealership as we got screwed over in every conceivable facet of even having that franchise.
One of the mechanics posed the following question to the owner when we were told about our upcoming “boon to sales and service” courtesy of Fiat.
“You know what happens to Fiat dealers?”.
“No. What?”.
“They go bankrupt”.
“No, no, no! That’s negative thinking. Keep a positive outlook and I assure you Fiat will benefit us in all areas”.
A year later they were on the downhill slide and the following year closed down, bankrupt, and the creditors were lined up at the courthouse.
I knew we were toast 2 weeks after they made the announcement. It’s comical now but at the time not so much. The first 2 truckloads of new Fiats pulled in, offloaded, and left.
It was only later while processing the paperwork the dealer discovered those brand new Fiats were actually 2 model years old.
Needless to say, that raised some financing issues at the bank when someone was wanting to finance a car that was 2 years old before it had even been cleaned up for sale.
