Im not being rude but if youve been lucky and found one, faultless, really good one another is unlikely.
These are old cars vw has no interest in supporting parts wise.
They are overcomplex in a period when the main electric supplier Bosch have gone useless.
I would not spend my or anyones money on another, lifes too short to be fixing it constantly.
Look and check "what is the most reliable hatchback"
Save money for lifes pleasantries.
