Hi

You've listed most of the bad ones. I had 2.1 in my bug, the only problems I had were 2 water pumps and the odd hose. When one water pump failed it gouged into the block, yuk.

Getting the pushrods to seat in the lifters can be chore if the motor is in the car, its not a problem if the motor is in a stand and you rotate the 90 degrees. Get it wrong and you will bend a pushrod.
