Hello Mike, and welcome to the club. Do you have any idea of what is wrong with the engine or other parts? Do you have a copy of the John Muir book? VWs should last almost forever if you can keep them alive and that’s this book is designed to do, written for the non-technical reader, it is essential for all VW owners. I believe he even tells how to trouble-shoot electrical problems. “How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive”
