EA288 Tdi engine, really good engine overall,

Some issues with low pressure egr coolers blocking up which cause a DPF efficiency code they also fracture and leak coolant internally into the exhaust,

on the traverse engines they're easy to replace but on the longitudinal engine in the A4, A6 it's an 8 hour job. and £1500+ at Audi.

It'll also be getting about due for a dual mass and clutch at that mileage if it hasn't already been done.

Heater matrix can become blocked so make sure you get hot air from all the vents when up to temp.

thats about it really
