yay 6 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm considering buying a 2012 A1 with the 1.4 CAX 122 hp engine for my daughter who has just passed her driving test. We live in Auckland, New Zealand. I will limit my choice to vehicles under 75,000 km. Some of the research I've done online indicates this engine is prone to excessive oil consumption and issues with the camchain and tensioner. Have any of you experienced these problems? Thanks.

Steve Q Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Those issues are well documented. I'd recommend you look at some YouTube videos on buyers guides etc. Make sure all electrical items work as some can be expensive to replace/repair such as the AC or mmi.
