I found a 1999 Jetta TDI 5spd on craigslist for $3500 with 130k miles that "runs great". It seemed like a decent deal and sparked my interest. I have only seen a few exterior photos and the body looks nice. I was thinking about setting up a time to check it out in person. I'm not too familiar with TDI engines. Are there some TDI specific things I should look out for (common engine problems etc)?

thanks,
jamie
