Do early Audi A3s give trouble?

Do the 2001 Audi A3 1.6 petrol models give much trouble?

Hi Mervyn,

Not too bad actually. As with any older car, look for a full and proper service history of course, but that aside check for ignition coil problems and faulty instruments. And they're so well built that if the car you're looking at has lots of squeaks and rattles it's been badly abused.
