    hi guys, hope you can help me here. i'm looking at buying an audi a3 2.0 tdi, probably a 3 or 4 year old ex-company car with 100-120K miles on the clock. is there anything i should watch out for here?

    also, at that mileage, the timing belt (i think it's a belt) should have been changed once, but when would the 2nd change be due?

    thanks in advance

    david

    The usual Excessive turbo noise. Smoke. Pulling to the side etc.

    75,000 miles or 5 years after it was last changed.
