Looking at buying one of these. Is there anything to look out for in particular or any common failure points?
Cheers

My dad has one of these and I drive it every weekend, they are fantastic little cars and very pokey
Great on the hills because they have plenty of torque and they deliver around 60MPG on average, up to 75MPG on a good motorway run
No major faults to look out for really, the gearboxes are stronger than the GTI's due to the ratio's and due to the fact they are running 50bhp less.
When buying just check the gearbox history and Turbo History, I think the Turbo's tend to last around 120-130K on average so if your buying a high mileage TDI then its certainly something to be aware of.
