Audi A3 Sportback - are there any known issues?

Can you tell me if there are any known issues with the 2008 Audi A3 Sportback? I am considering buying a diesel, but don’t want to buy something that’s going to cost me a fortune in repairs.

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
