final and best upgrade you can do to any vw 1.8 engine (rabbits, cabriolets etc) is upgrade to an 2.0 oil pump (just ask for an 95 vw jetta or golf 2.0 oil pump) it bolts right on is about $60 from any autoparts increases oil pumping volume dramatically and will keep your engine alive for years to come.
Pros: increases volume dramatically, bolts right on

I had this problem with my 90 GLI. It was the parking brake mechanism on the caliper of the right rear wheel. It had seized, not allowing the caliper to release when I released the parking brake lever. I had to replace the caliper.
Pros: prevent rotor damage
Cons: caliper seized

You sure you really want a genuine VW windshield?? In my opinion the damn things are too weak and chip too easily! I think something is wrong with their glass manufacturing over there.
Cons: too weak, chips easily

VW Glass is crap. If you look real close at your windshield at the lower passenger side, I guarantee that you will find distortion in the glass. It is also softer than other manufactures glass. I have several small and good size pits on my windshield.
Cons: distortion in glass, softer
