That's what I thought, gonna avoid this car as god knows what else is ******, the A3 search continues! :.(

Thanks guys for the replies, really useful insights! The car itself in terms of bodywork/interior is ok, the driver side door seal is torn at the bottom. Engine start up was fine, there was a spanner symbol on the dash though (needs audi service reset?). The main thing I noticed on the test...

So I'm pretty sure I've finally spotted the one, it's a 2010 2.0TDI with 114,000 miles, I am going to view it tomorrow. The dealer sent the history which shows that: The clutch has been replaced twice The gearbox has been taken off, sent off for repair and refitted for £1000! The cambelt has...

Yeah mate, checked the VIN on Audis website, common rail. Plus I got the guy to send a pic of the engine bay, it has the iconic diagonal line engine cover. I'm defo gonna start changing the oil regularly when I get one, that seems to have been the key to your long miles.

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of viewing this, https://tinyurl.com/y8cq4pkw Seems decent with a full service history.

Thanks for the detail. Any idea what the older common rails are running on?

I'm hearing that even the CR engines still have the oil pump hex problem, how common is this and is it something to actually worry about if the car has been fully serviced etc? It's the only thing thats bugging me with the high mileage cars now.

Been to see quite a few A3s now but I'm still searching and won't be as scared of high mileage now. Cornish John you're a legend, put my mind to rest.

The 2011 2.0TDI 170PS is up for £5500, its got 100k on the clock and hasn't had the cam belt changed, gonna view it tomorrow, is it a good price and how much is the cam belt change, £400? It's 2011 so CR which is better from what you guys have said, any engine codes to look out for or did they...

I do long journeys but prefer the torque on diesels, feels more solid. What would you recommend?

Ok will ask when I view if this was done. I have a choice between 2011 with 100,000 miles or 2009 with 70,000 miles, any advice?

Spotted a 2011 2.0TDI with 170HP, this is the common rail engine but has 100,000 miles, what are peoples opinions on this engine? Thanks

That the VIN? VIN: WAUZZZ8P48A166785 Any decoders about?

Again thanks for the help. I've spotted an 08 2.0TDI and going to view it tomorrow, I'm guessing this will be CR and will be alright?

Also I've found a 1.9TDI 2009 that is an E 104 version, can these be remapped and whats the difference? Thanks

BKD Rev C will be alright then? How do I find this out?

I'm considering the 2.0TDI more after what a lot of people are saying. I'm guessing the best ones are after 2007?

Some good pointers from the other posts, I'm making a list, really helpful! Ok so the BLS engine is better as long as you don't abuse the dpf, are there any other engine codes that I should look out for? Thanks.

Thanks for the help! Could you expand on how I can check the dual mass condition and also a faulty gearbox? For the springs I'm guessing a visual check for cracks will be enough? Last one how can I check the loom on the pillars? I've heard to check all the door electrics with them open and...

Thanks for the reply. PD means pump duse right? Whats the difference between them?
