Common things to look for on 1.4 tsi 2011

After a search I’ve uncovered turbo , wastegate , slow warm up and cylinder 3 as being potential issues on the 1.4 tsi 2011, I’m about to go look at one but am afraid of what I’ll find , anything else I can do as a novice to see faults ? I can take my obd reader and see what that says

Re: Dab sat nav and phone

Thanks , currently trawling auctions , some are with dab, some without, some say Bluetooth not working !!
Am I right in thinking they have built in gps? Or do you need to add a GPS receiver ?

Re: Dab sat nav and phone

so did you have to do anyting extra, or was it really as simple as buy the unit and swap over yourself, as long as you have the code.

Tyre noise or wheel bearing

Just picked up my first sciRocco , 2.0 gt, 2009, lovely car , but got this noise at anything over 35mph, I've tried free wheeling , makes no difference , so I googled it and it appears they are prone to tyre noise, but I'm not sure if its tyre noise or wheel bearings .. are there any tyres that are ...
