Long time mkiv golf tdi owner here. I've been considering an A3 for sale locally (as stated in title) that appears to be one owner. It has the eTronic transmission, and I'm not sure what that is vs the DSG. I don't know if it's been "dieselgate reprogrammed" yet. But before I get to that I was hoping some other persons with A3 TDI knowledge could advise about reliability and maintenance. I'm fairly handy, have VCDS and the will to do just about any repair short of engine or transmission rebuilds. I replaced the timing belt on my ALH golf so I have that going for me. Any advice, anecdotally or otherwise is appreciated.
