I do suggest the Valeo HD clutch kit while you are in there....you could maybe skip replacing the flywheel if it is in good condition, but the more proper thing is to replace it as well. The whole kit is $300 with a new slave cylinder and stainless line.
Valeo titanium wipers are pretty decent and not too expensive.
upgrading to the Valeo HD kit is your best course of action when the time comes. Holds more power, is smooth, and doesnt rattle like the single mass flywheels will.
I get mine from TireRack.com - the Valeo Ultimate Beams are almost identicle to the OEM wipers and work great
Then, I'd recommend swapping your blades over to these from Valeo: Pay no attention to the Amazon listing for size/compatibility - VM387 is specifically for Golf MK7 models. I went through multiple types and brands of wiper blades years ago trying to solve chattering/skipping issues and these have proven to be the best quality, smoothest, and longest lasting by far.
A brand new Valeo (439317) alternator is $209 on Rockauto and they can be swapped in an hour or two.
Valeo is a good brand and makes parts for many cars including expensive cars. Never had issues with anything from them.
Springs on the dual mass flywheel failed, tons of play, converting to solid flywheel Valeo clutch kit.
In these days I'll try another type of filter. If you search for images I've tried in order: the Mann filter (it works but not for a long time, because it isn't tight and it bends and this valve will open) and now I'm trying valeo ones, these ones are pure garage, after just 1k kilometers it starts to have problem, and it twists on itself.
I replaced the heater core in my 1991 mk2 8-valve RV coded engine in May 2022. I replaced it with a new Valeo unit I got off FCP Euro and the install went just fine. Every year I do a mid-winter start-up since I live in Minnesota and after running it last night for about 20 minutes the heater core popped and dumped a ton of hot coolant in my driver and passenger footwells...
