Can't help with that car specifically, but I've got a TT with the same 1.8T engine. Look for records of regular oil changes as the pick-up pipe can get blocked if it's not done properly. Also look for evidence of a cam belt change fairly recently at that mileage / age. The Audi handbook gives some ridiculous change interval for the belt, which it's wise to ignore. There's a TT buyers guide on the UK TT forum that might give some more information on the engine side of things.

ideal , cheers. "sludgy" oil problems seem to be the main bug with poorly serviced ones. its only 4 miles away so not a chore to go look at and still walk away from if not right.

If you buy it, drop the sump and change the pickup regardless.
I had a lucky escape with my last AGU engine, flishy flashy light on the dash of the mk2 I put it in.... Dropped the sump and the pickup pipe was pretty much glued shut bar a few pin holes.
Check for boost leaks, oil leaks, smoke when you floor it, scan it if you can.

Personal plate transfer is now a 5 minutes job online - although for some reason you can only do it between 7am and 7pm!
