have a look in the GTi section and read the sticky threads, theres alot of info in there.

you basically looking at the gearbox (changed?)
if it went in with the pedal box recall
cambelt change? needs to be done every 40k or 5 years, along with tensioner and waterpump
clutch change (gets pretty sticky after 40k or so)

there the main points, but as i said give the sitcks a read 8)
