None really. Only real issue is timing chain, but even that's not a given.

Where are you gonna be selling parts for it

Other than the timing chain, there's no inherent issues, eg. Don't need to change cam follower as maintainence etc.

Waterpump, mine is getting changed on Monday as its making a noise. 80k on the original.

I believe there are slight oil leaks from the sump that are common, but nothing major or enough to be an issue.

The real problematic 1.4 was the twin charged 160bhp version found on golfs and seats. Cavd engine code I think. That had big issues

I know there are two type of 1.4 TFSI one found on the MK6 with the timing chain and the newer version on the 8Vs that uses timing belt.
