from the previous owner, the timing belt was replaced 13k ago along with the clutch, but unfortunately no receipts...so i will get in there and look for cracks/fraying

My climate control interface also goes in and out (i can see it, then i cant) will that be a fuse? or connection problems? half of my speedometer is also out, while the rest of my cluster is lit up. i saw that i could go to a dealer and get a bulb to replace it, but can i get the bulb at an auto parts store instead? (the closest VW/Audi dealer is a lot father than an autopart shop). nearing 100k what things should i pay closest attention to?
Wow, 92k on a 1996, that's amazing! My 2001 already has a little over 100k (and I had the car off the road for over a year before I got my license.
