If you are still wondering about the 300tdi, a few mates have had a few problems with the water pump P gasket

Leaky rocker covers is always a good one, and the poly belt tensioner is a prime candidate for causing a squeaky belt. Generally the 300tdi is a solid engine, just don't let it overheat, it really doesn't like that.
