I drove a 1986 Diesel Golf from 1985-1990, put 80,000 miles on her (purchased new). At around 60,000 miles it blew a head gasket, which apparently they were known for. Mostly covered by the extended warranty I purchased. It was an expensive policy and an expensive repair - I broke even.

I don't think my electric fan ever went on, even had the dealership check it in the first few months of ownership because I thought that it was odd and perhaps broke.
