Hey Everyone,

I hope you all are having an amazing day. I got my first car, Volkswagen Jetta GLI 30th edition 2014 with 68k miles on it - Automatic transmission. Pretty clean car and the drive is just amazing. The previous owner recently serviced the car in February ( I could confirm since the engine oil was pretty clean upon inspection).

Now I have never experienced owning a car before and my dad never taught me how to maintain one.

With the above being said, what should be my next steps? What things should I get checked out or look out for? At what intervals should I be doing my services? Also in Canada, there are shops that offer car services. Should I go with VW official dealership? or does the local shops work equally well?

Sorry my questions might be dumb but I have never really owned a car and this reddit is like a mentor to me.

Thank you for taking out the time to answer.

Hey Everyone,

Occasionally, I have noticed that when I start my car using the Push to start button, the car cranks for 4-5 seconds before the engine starts. Normally it takes 1 - 2 seconds to start the engine.

What could be wrong? Multiple people have had this problem on reddit but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Would appreciate any insights into how to debug this problem?

This doesn't affect the driving experience but I am afraid it might lead to bigger problems in the near future.

Thanks!
