Hey mate .. my name is Jon too
I've heard these engines burn oil also, but I haven't noticed much of a problem myself .. perhaps as the miles creep up I'll notice it more.
I've got an mk3 Golf, but the same engine as you so maintenance is probably the same.
My Bentley manual actually has 30K intervals for OBDI cars, and then 10/20/40K intervals for OBDII engines. So if you've done the 80K maintenance, you should only have to do the typical 10K maintenance at 90K miles - Oil+oil filter, top off fluids, dust/pollen filter, brake check etc.
I'll be hitting 80K miles myself this summer, although other than checking brakes and getting new spark plugs I'm not sure what all I might need to do (oil/air filter are new enough).
Would new plug wires be recommended, or only if I'm having trouble? The car has been flawless with the exception of a single coolant leak in nearly 2 years since I bought it used.
