The main reason I chose the 130 was because more 150s than 130s have cam issues...and the only other problem from your list is the dmf........which unfortunately has broken on both my golfs lol, but you try finding a modern diesel without a dpf!! :problem:
I've heard of quite a few blowers failing on these engines, and the cam wear affects all PD engines, it's caused by oil starvation to the cam, followers and tappets due to poor head design. As for the DMF, I don't even see the point of it, their no smoother to drive with it and the cost when they break is shocking :o
