Chain driven, not belt and the tensioners, guides and chain can need replacing around this mileage - they can rattle like with the 2nd edition S4 NA engine. I sell the chains if you need them, but you really will wish you don't, as the labour involved is a fair whack pulling the engine etc. I would be moderately cautious but i have not heard of the issue to the extent its one to avoid, just now they are getting slightly older these issues are coming out.

Ans the DSG can give some issues but i dont know to what extent it effects them all - one hears about it from time to time.
