timing belt kit (belt, tensioner, serp, acc belt, waterpump)
coolant flush
tune up (wires, plugs, dizzy cap and rotor)
at 100k the timing belt is the big deal, do work

Forgotten stuff
Rear wheel bearings inspect and repack them.
Brake fluid flush it with DOT 4 Castrol LMA
I'm even anal enough to flush the power steering fluid, just make sure to use the right ****
Replace all the crumbly vacuum lines in the engine compartment. Don't use that cheap rubbish hose bought at vatozone or Krappens. The dealer has the right cloth braided **** for the job.

And soon have to change my oil at 98k so ill also get my coolant changed.

replace the hoses while you do the coolant flush, instead of wasting that expensive vw coolant later down the road. might as well replace the air filter along with the fuel filter. and if you have the time knock out the heater core.

the heater core is such a hassel.. But its worth it. I guess. While I'm in that area. Which i believe its in the same area ill check my vents. Anywhere else i should check and replace? And its okay i don't have to worry about my windows fallin down. I got lucky with that and got manual windows. But it sucks trying to find black door cards.

I do too, but it seems impossible to find a decent set of tan(beige) door cards. I also need a tan (beige )speaker less parcel shelf.

Water pump should be done with timing belt and while you're at it with coolant and oil drained replace the o-ring on top of the oil cooler. It can be done without draining coolant but is much easier if you can disconnect the two hoses.

Not sure if you want to go this far, but check out the clutch (assuming manual), the rear main, tranny seals, etc. Might as well hit it all at once!

If he is doing the clutch, might as well replace those 3 seals and the push rod bushing. Its like $20 worth of parts and will last another 100k http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
