those other problems are kinda minimal and are just annoying mainly...

the turbos might last well into the 100s... or die soon, depending on POs maintenance routine.
another main thing to look out for is the timing belt.. Especially 1.8ts. the interval for maintenace is 60k for these and you should be checking when this was changed... what was changed etc.. Stay away from listening to bad stories from people who dont even own one, or had one bad expirence(to them, it could've been a dumb problem) and decided to give up because they are to dumb to fix it. That being said audi/vws to need some paitence, because the maintenance scheduals are much closer than some other makes etc, and have some dumb(but fixable) problems. Just keep up with it and it will be fine. You might wanna find one with less miles for more money though.. still check all the same stuff. The chip(flash) will cut your turbos life in half too btw.
