Doesn't sound like you do much work yourself on your TDI.
Since the vehicle is over 10 years old I doubt if you be able to get a third party warranty at a reasonable price.
If you want to keep the TDI and I think you should if it only has 80K miles on it, find a good independent mechanic that you can trust and stay with him. Get recommdations from other TDI owners in your area.
Oh, by the way I hope you have had your serpentine belt and tensioner replaced. If not you better get it done ASAP. If it breaks it could really cost you to get it repaired.
