A few years ago, my son had one of these in a Wolfsburg edition which was a high output 1.8l 8 valve (110hp I think), two-door, upgraded interior with P-alloys, four-wheel disks and a 5 speed. It had about 120K miles, ran strong. Only problem he had, was with the throw-out lever on the clutch which split at the pivot shaft. We made the repair harder than it was as we thought that the actuation shaft had broken. That is, we pulled the gearbox when we really didn't have to. It ended up being an easy and cheap repair (beyond the effort to get the gearbox out and back in, duh!!!). Anyway, my other son also had an '87 Jetta TD (not sold in the US) that had the same drivetrain with a 1.6l TD engine. In this case, this thing had 420K kms, with original shafts, gearbox, etc. It was still going strong the day he sold it with 495K kms.
