Default Thinking of buying a 2007 Audi A4 3.0 TDI – scan showed faults, should I be worried?

Hi everyone!

I’m from Argentina and I’m about to buy a 2007 Audi A4 3.0 TDI ASB engine. The car looks in very good condition overall. I tested it cold and it started smoothly – no rattling or strange noises, which gave me some confidence.

However, I did a pre-scan and several codes came up:
- Intake manifold swirl flaps issue.
- Active engine mounts faults (both sides).
- Several glow plugs not working.
- Low voltage / communication faults (likely battery or alternator).
- Some minor electrical errors (fog lights, radio, comfort module).

Here in Argentina parts can be expensive and sometimes harder to source, so I would really appreciate references from your countries. If you can give me ballpark figures in **USD or EUR (parts + labor)**, that would help me a lot to evaluate whether this car is worth it or if it could become too costly.

Have any of you had these issues with this engine before?
How much did it cost to fix them?
Would you recommend buying the car if it’s otherwise in great condition?

Thanks a lot for your advice, it means a lot!
