2003 Jetta TDI any real issues?

Looking to buy a used (179k miles) 2003 Jetta and was wondering if there were any issues to look out for?
Any known “gotcha” mechanical issues.

Yes, lots of them. Plus the car is now 16 years old.

Right now the leaky injection pumps are the thing we see all the time. I cannot remember the last time I saw an ALH that either already had its pump rebuilt/replaced or needed its pump rebuilt/replaced.
