Don't bring your car to the dealer, they will rape you. They will charge you $1000 to change the timing belt which is the biggest scheduled maintenance item on MK3's. You can do it yourself for $30, the cost of the timing belt from a dealer. Add $150 if you want to change the tensioner also, I highly recommend replacing it since it probably spins like an old roller skate and the dealer will not do it even for $1000.

Biggest 2 items are timing belt and fuel filter for scheduled maintenance. Unless you count the head gasket.
