well when I did my timing belt it was at 220Kms, & it was only $100 installed,
the cracked windshield you can clame on your insurance as most poliys have a 50/50 claws, and it will not cause you insurance to go up, call them and ask about it.
as for the rear defogger when the bars stop working it's usually a sign that some of the bars are broken and not getting the current thru to activate it correctly. there are repair kits out there that range from $10 - 40, and are DIY.
if your clutch is still in good working order with no issues, why replace it?
if you need Tires you can get a good set of all seasons for about $450. I know a place here in brampton that is rather cheap, and that is all 4 tires installed balenced & the old ones recycled.
as for the tranny fluid, go to Mr. Lube, it will cost about $50. and take about 20 minutes, also have then check the carborator as it could be clogged and causing you that vacum sounding issue. also their coolent package is not that badly priced either.
as for the other issues get it checked out, I'm guessing it should not cost more then $1500 to repair the rest.
as for TDI VW's finding a good one, with little issues is a good find, just keep in mind there are a few bad ones out there, not to mention vw's quality is questionable, if the car has not been taken car of, if your looking into used.
Keep in mind you should be doing your coolent and tranny fluid yearly, and this is about the time any typical car need this kind of mantainance, once it's done you'll get a few more years out of your car, before it comes do again.
