Welcome along buddy :happy2:
I don't think there is anything really common to be fair apart from the odd mechatronics on DSG which your know about if you have problems, and if the engine sounds like it rattles a bit to much then have the HPFP can follower replaced, they sound tappy anyway due to the FSI injection
