Good afternoon

I am thinking about purchasing a car

The owner said the car has a few problems one being a rough idle on a cold start and some smoke but both clear when car is at operating temp. He has had a injector replaced but still no luck he think it might be another injector. How ever a friend of mine think it might be a glow plug fault

Also there is a fault on the dash for a MAF sensor, are these cheap parts to replace? ECP parts ok? Or OEM only?

Any other problem to look out for on a 1.6tdi 5spd?

Thank you for the help

TBH, I'd never buy a car that had lights on the dashboard. MAF sensors aren't expensive or difficult to fit. But what happens if when you do the light doesn't go out? It could be a symptom of the fault, not the cause. I always worry with these kind of things, if it's so easy and cheap to fix, why doesn't the current owner do it before selling.
