What is the fuel consumption of the old Jetta per 100 kilometers?

[McRachel]

Jetta's fuel consumption is 8 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction about Jetta: 1. Introduction: Jetta is a car brand produced by FAW-Volkswagen, a joint venture of German Volkswagen in China. The square-head Jetta is essentially a second-generation Golf (MK2) with a trunk added, and can be considered a derivative of the Golf. 2. Development: The first generation of Volkswagen Jetta was born in the United States in 1979. The domestic square-head Jetta belongs to the second generation, which was born in 1991 and officially discontinued in 2002; the domestic second-generation square-head Jetta initially used a 4-speed manual transmission, which was upgraded to a 5-speed manual transmission in 1995.

I've been driving my old Jetta for over a decade. It's a classic Volkswagen model, with fuel consumption typically around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. However, in city traffic jams, it can rise to 9-10 liters, while on highways it drops to 7 liters. I remember when I was younger, driving it to and from work, the secret to saving fuel was regular maintenance, such as changing the oil and checking tire pressure. Worn-out parts like the oxygen sensor can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket, so they need to be replaced promptly. Looking back now, this car was economical and affordable. Although it can't compare to the fuel efficiency of new cars, with proper maintenance it can stay steady at around 8 liters. Developing gentle driving habits can also save a lot of money.

As a veteran driver commuting daily in an old Jetta, my recorded fuel consumption averages between 7.5-9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions: it easily reaches 10 liters during urban rush hours, while suburban driving stays around 7 liters. This directly affects monthly fuel costs. Tracking with a mobile app revealed that gentle acceleration and fewer sudden brakes can reduce consumption by 0.5 liters. I recommend beginners start with simple steps like checking and replacing dirty air filters and spark plugs, and not ignoring minor issues. For frequent long-distance driving, fuel consumption tends to be more stable.

From a repair perspective, the fuel consumption standard for older Jetta models like the 1.6L is 7-9 liters per 100 kilometers, but actual consumption varies based on engine condition. Common causes such as aging ignition systems or poor air intake can increase it to over 10 liters. I recommend owners use a diagnostic tool to check the fuel ratio, and regularly clean the throttle body or replace spark plugs to optimize consumption. Well-maintained vehicles can easily maintain fuel consumption below 7.5 liters—the key is not to let problems worsen.
