Are all A3 TDI's the same?
What i mean is....do they ALL have a problem with the cylinder head?
Every forum ive read states there is a problem with coolant loss as the heads are prone to cracks/splits/head gasket failure.

Im going to buy one in jan/feb 09 and dont fancy paying money out then finding out 2 days later its lost all the coolant !

Im interested in the sportback 140bhp TDI and im thinking of getting 54/55 plate.
I dont know how true this is but i read somewhere after 56 plate onwards the cylinderhead problem has been fixed.

I take it the golf will have same problems as it shares the same engine?

Thing is im buying privatley so unlike a garage i cant really take it back one ive bought it.
