I bought my '99 5 speed six shooter used at 66k miles and I've gone and run it over 100k (yeah, I drive a LOT). It hasn't had any major problems since I've had it - I've done all the basics, synth oil and filter every 3k (I'm using the high mileage engine oil now... good stuff!), and I've also replaced the pads/rotors, air filter, and rotated the tires a few times. I topped off the oil in the tranny (though not in the rear end), but I haven't flushed it and replaced it entirely.
My question is, now that it's past that magic 100k mark (and getting pretty darn close to 110k), what problems should I be looking out for? Anything I should do NOW to prevent me being carless (which would be very bad) in the near future? I don't have a maintenance record from before I got the car, so I don't know of anything that was done before 66k. It's run like a dream for me, a few funny sounds here and there but it's never given me a major problem, and I want to keep it that way since I'm going to have this car for at least another few years (through college).
Thanks in advance!

-yeah, its fast. compared to a jetta.
i had a family mechanic do it for like 100 bucks but a shop should be able to do it for around 100-200 dollars or so. if you cant do it yourself, look for a mechanic u turst, not somewhere crappy like jiffy lube.
