The bottom line is, it's an extremely obscure VW product. Now, it's quite possible to keep this thing motoring along happily for many years, but it might take some real effort. Including being out of commission until you locate a competent repair facility, or end up having to wait until parts are shipped from europe.
I was quite an obsessed fan of the brand as a kid, and owned a total of 20+ air cooled VWs in my time. At some point my son, a college kid at the time, decided that he couldn't live without a 2005 Passat. That was my turning point. They had become grossly over engineered, under built, and ridiculously complicated junk. I do all of my own wrenching on my motor home and other vehicles, and I just can't see any good reason for another VW product in my life. It's your call, but remember, if you keep it long enough, and use it hard enough, you are going to hit that point when you say to yourself, "I wish I never bought this POS"
