Sounds like vw stepped it up with the engine design. We had an 85 and 86 golf diesel. The 85 got about 200k miles before it failed to start in 80 degree weather using starter fluid and the driver seat rusted through the floor. The tranny quit shfiting into 5th and a junkyard tranny had 5th sheered off.
The 86 smoked a lot, but was very poor performer and we traded it for the geo metro. THe 85 went to the kidney foundation junkyard.
