This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Volkswagen Jetta: Plenty of luggage space., Comfortable, spacious cabin., Base petrol engine a good all-rounder.
The 2008 Volkswagen Jetta carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
All Australian-delivered, fuel-injected Volkswagens built after 1986 can run successfully on E10 petrol. Most E10 petrol in Australia has an octane rating of 94RON, and that’s the lowest you’d want to go. Back in the day, VW said the Jetta was better off with 95RON ULP and was not able to use the standard 91RON stuff that many cars could/can use.
I'm not surprised the dealer won't budge; he doesn't want to be held responsible for giving poor advice if something happens as a result of missing or extending the service intervals. I would take the same approach and say that you should do the service as they suggest.
Press your case with the company, they should come to the party with a replacement, after all, the car has only done 33,000 km.
The Volkswagen Jetta 2008 prices range from $4,070 for the basic trim level Sedan 2.0 FSI to $7,260 for the top of the range Sedan 2.0 Turbo FSI.
