If it's multi-tronic, make sure the gearbox oil has been changed as directed in the service interval (40k, I think it is).

Also keep an eye on when the cam belt is done, that going to cost about £350.

Clutches aren't cheap as it's usually recommended that the dual mass flywheel is changed at the same time. I don't know the exact price but I think you're talking at least £700 for that.

I've had my 1.9 TDi A4 for two years now and it's on 105,000 without any major problems.
