Any things to look out for on buying a 2011 1.6tdi?

Hi all, one of the noob questions incoming….

Just been looking to purchase a 2011 1.6tdi and wondered if there was anything in particular to look out for. Obv the usual service history stuff (if that even means anything anymore) and usual engine bits. But reckon someone more knowledgeable could point out some more specific points

Tia,

the common things are injectors mainly, then DPF's and EGR's going on them

Check if it’s had the dieselgate software fix, and if it has get it rolled back

It’s had a remap so I imagine that’s rolled it back?

They have a few common issues such as injectors, injector clamp bolts shearing due to incorrect fitting procedures, EGR valves, DPF issues (usually a side effect of other root causes), thermostat, ABS pumps, oil cooler housing seals leak coolant, water pump leaking …….. and the usual wear and tear items.
