approx 130k miles on the tacho.
servicing hasnt been to a strict schedule recently so looking at tips for oil, filters, plug spec, gap, ht's etc
drain plug location might be a good idea also

oil/filter. air filter if it looks mangy.
it isn't rocket science and as a mk2 golf isn't going to be worth much i would say if it isn't broke (no starting probs etc) then don't fix it.

Here are the service intervals according to the book.
This is the key:
a - every week
b - every 5,000 miles
c - every 10,000 miles
d - every 20,000 miles
e - every 40,000 miles
f - every 80,000 miles
a: check oil level
a: check coolant
a: check brake fluid level
a: check battery water level
a: check washer fluid
a: check tyres
a: check lights
c: change engine oil and filter
c: check engine for leaks
c: check crank case ventilation
d: valve clearances (engines without hydraulic tappets)
d: cambelt check
f: cambelt change
c: cooling system check
e: engine coolant change
d: check gearbox oil
f: change gearbox oil
b: check driveshaft gaiters
c: adjust clutch
c: check spark plug gap
d: change spark plugs
c: check points gap
d: change points
c: check timing
d: check and adjust belts
c: check electric fan
c: check fuel pipes
c: check exhaust
c: check airfilter
e: change airfilter
d: change fuel filter
c: check & adjust idle speed
c: check front wheel bearings
c: check front suspension
c: check steering
c: check rear wheel bearings
c: check rear suspension
c: check wheel bolt tightness
c: check brake pads
d: change hydraulic fluid
c: lubricate hinges, locks etc
d: lubricate sunroof
b: check wiper blades
Bit overkill if you ask me
Spark plug gap should be between 0.7 & 0.9mm
Without knowing the engine size I can't tell you much more than that

You'll need 4 litres of oil if you do a filter change
Oil needed SAE 15W/50 or 20W/50
you'll need NGK BUR6ET if you have engine code AEA & AEE
you'll need NGK BKUR5ET if you have engine code AFT
or you'll need NGK BUR5ET is you have engine code 1F
The gap for the plugs on all of these engines is between 0.7-0.9mm
