Well, I do not know about current gen A3s, mine (8P with the older 2 liter diesel) currently only has the "higher idle" problem, where the ECU thinks that there is not enough voltage in the system while the engine's running (even though it is 13.8V). I believe it is due to the alternator's age, but I have to check.
Prior to that it had a coolant leak due to the EGR cooler and other problems stemming from the pre-owner's total neglect regarding maintenance, but nothing that hinders me from passing inspection... yet.
