I apologize if this is already asked and answered, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I'm considering buying a 2011-2012 Golf TDI for my daughter. She is coming off a terrible experience with a Mini Cooper S that died in just about every way imaginable - including the final death of 3 very low compression cylinders. As we look at 8-10 year old Golf TDIs with 100-150k miles on the clock, mostly the 6AM, what common issues should we be worried about.
I've read a little about the HPFP failures, I guess I should look for a car that has already had that replaced. Also some things about the Diesel Particulate Filter system. Is there anything else that could get expensive if it fails, and is a fairly common failure point?
Thanks,
Ian
