I've read that the cam follower can cause top end damage to the engine if not changed. The turbos diverter valve can split and also the PVC valve can split too. I think these three are the most common problems to the gti.
Maybes get all three changed when you buy it as a precaution.
Apart from them problems I think they are pretty reliable well I hope they are because I'm also looking for one  :happy2:
