Audi a4 2011

Looking at an audi a4 2011 sline 2ltr diesel 120bhp. Irish car, seems very clean with about 90k miles on the clock. Getting someone to give it the once over tomorrow but is there any specific issues I should be looking at with this car, or anything I should be looking at. Not great with cars so any advice welcome. Thanks

Service history is no.1,make sure to check for noises or vibration from the clutch and flywheel they are still expensive to replace usually go at around 150k km.

I think the timing belt change on that engine is around the 100k miles or 5 year mark. As said make sure there is no vibration through the clutch as flywheel wear is quite common on these at around that mileage.

Personally, I'd try and hold out for a 140bhp or 170bhp version if you can. The 120bhp feels a bit breathless once it gets going.
