    A3 Passenger Side Rust

    I have an a3 2.0 tdi at 192k miles currently. The engines are very good just make sure you look out for their common problems like flywheel and turbo. With the one at 140k see if it has had turbo or flywheel changed they tend to go usually 100k+ usually. Both mine were done at 120k.

    A3 buying advice please....BKD engine any good?

    Clicking/rattling noise when heaters on on cold (BKD)

    Update: got the coolant flange changed. The old one looked in a bad way was corroded/damaged on one side and the seal was pretty much gone. Will see how the coolant level is next couple of days.
