Just got myself a nice A3 with 1.6 diesel engine. What problems if any will I run into with this engine. Thanks. 

Hi none really just the usual wear and tear items brakes, battery, servicing, occasional addition of a DPF cleaner in with the fuel should keep it nice and clean if you do a lot of short journeys and don't buy supermarket fuel as it kills the engine in record time.

What's the service history on it? My dad has bad luck with an 8v 1.6tdi. His blew a turbo and then blew an engine all under 30k miles 

Hi Steve I don't have the 1.6 now, I have a 2013 2.0 lit. tdi S line now. But I have problem with screen washer bottle, it's leaking I think it will need replacing but don't know how to do it.
