    Welcome, get yourself a spare set of:
    - electric window regulators (the cheap plastic in them tend to fail, the manual ones are pretty much bulletproof with an occasional need for some lubrication)
    - various plastic/rubber engine inlet/exhaust and coolant pipework/flanges (they deteriorate)
    - instrument cluster (the cluster suffers from cold solder issues and you may end up with the speedo needle giving you the "dance of death")
    - the correct radiator coolant, G11 (green coolant) for pre-1997, G12/G13/G13+ (pink/purple coolant) for 1997+, do not mix G11 and G12/G13/G13+ or you will get a gunk forming in your radiator/coolant system

    They are a good car, I have had my CL since it rolled out of the Wolfsburg factory and arrived on the boat. Not willing to let it go, another 10 years and I will be able to get historic car club rego for it
    1997 Golf CL, 2011 Caddy Life TDI, 2007 Golf TDI, 1996 Vento GL (red), 2008 Skoda Octavia TDI
    1996 Vento GL (white) - RIP
