Hi ya Steve.
Nothing major springs to mind, as I've had nothing major go wrong with mine! That linked EVO article is good for info.
There is a factory recall for the boot-mounted battery bracket. If it hasn't been done, it may take a little while as it requires a specialised tool, so I was informed by Audi.
Watch for a chopping, uneven ride, as that could mean the DRC is on the blink. Touch wood, I've had no problems with mine.
Also, on full lock, I had a creaking from the front suspension arm. This has been replaced under warranty.
The alloys are a known issue, with reference to lacquer peel. So check if a refurb has been done, it's a decent one - mine need doing
There's nothing else I can think, to be honest. It appears to be a pretty reliable motor
