Viewing an A3 TDI SE (110) this weekend, anything to look out for?

[-Matt]

Recently signed up to the forum so first and foremost hey all.

I live in Peterborough, finished sixth form last year and looking to move on to my 3rd car, previously had a 1.3 KA (don't get me wrong it was pokey!) and currently have a 6n2 Polo 1.0 to commute to and from work, economical enough & great on insurance but couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding...
Been looking for more power as of recent as I'm finally getting cheaper insurance quotes on higher litre/bhp cars!

So, my Dad and I are off to view a 2001 A3 TDI SE (110) this Saturday located in Bradford. Done 125K and has a fairly complete service history.

Is there anything I should particularly look out for on this model with this sort of mileage? Any help would be much appreciated!

Some great advice there, at least for me anyway - I'm going to look at the 130 this afternoon

Look at this thread....a lot of what's suggested there applies to this.

Not sure about the engines, but bodywise you want to check the rear arches and roof rails for signs of rust.
