Hi everyone hope all is well

i have been looking to buy a Audi A3 1.2tfsi and I was wondering if there was anything to look out for or any common problems with them. If anyone could help me that would be great.

Hope to hear from you guys

Sorry for the late reply it was very useful as I wasn’t sure on how reliable they are but apart from the timing chain and oil consumption they are okay 😂 

thanks

Hello Aaron, 

It’s great that you are enquiring before purchasing, and that the forum has been of help. One, second thought, thing I would ask is how any intending purchaser is going to know if the actual car of interest suffers from high oil consumption? 

Not sure how easy it is nowadays, but if it were me, I would be making all possible efforts to contact the last owner to discuss this side of things. Failure to do so may be regretted. 

Sounds to be a very important requirement - more so than service history even?? 

Kind regards, 

Gareth.
