Re: How hard is it to change a thermostat in a 1989 vw...
Not a difficult job at all, just a tad-bit messy. Will need to follow the hose from the radiator to find the mounting location of the thermostat on the engine block.

mcdevito75 here, It could be the Starter itself, showing up bad only when hot, looseing electricall connection in the starter, specially if it;s the original one. Take a chance, change the starter.
yes. Depending on where your fuel filter is located, you can disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter and then try to crank the car over. If it spits fuel out of the disconnected line your pump is working, if not then it's bad. Another way to tell, but not always is when you car is started you hear a high pitched whining sound from the tanks. This is usually (again, not always) an indication of a fuel pump about to fail.
VW doesn't install kill switches on their vehicles. A "very low" oil level can cause some of the newer VW's to not run, but this would be very unusual for a 1989 unless the oil level is off the dipstick. May want to raise the oil level nand check the fuses.
Can't be any more help not knowing the model of VW you have, sorry.
