Window regulators (driver's door mainly)
Plastic gears or cables in regulator wear/fail, causing window to drop or stick. · Typical repair: £150-£300 per door (regulator + labour).
Suspension bushes (rear trailing arm and front control arm bushes)

1. High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) and cam follower
Cam follower (part 06D109309C) wears through, starving HPFP of fuel; leads to pump failure or camshaft scoring.
2. PCV (crankcase ventilation) valve failure
