Hey Guys
Thought i'd start a thread to list all the best mods and upgrades for someone who's tightening their belt due the recession. Basically, lets just make a list of Mods and indicate their price. It can be something free, to something expensive, just make a list, anything you've done to your car, and how much it cost and it's results. Do it in the following format, also, cut and paste the past entries to your entry to keep a nice clean look:
Mod Name
-VW Model
-Parts Required
-Average Cost
-Tools Required
-Time Required, difficulty
-Small little description or Link to corresponding thread of the mod.
-Result
Here, i'll start with a nice and simple one many probably have already done.
VENTECTOMY
-Mk4 Golfs/Jettas (a4)
-No Parts required
-FREE!
-A Phillips Screwdriver and a T-20 torx required
-15-30 Minutes (Easy)
-A Ventectomy allows you to take advantage of the extra air space in your fuel tank which comes with many TDI Mk4 models. By removing a small valve on the neck of the fuel tank, diesel models can "use up" the extra air pocket for fuel, which is usually used to contain gasoline vapor. Because Diesel does not produce as much vapor as Gasoline, it is relatively safe. With the value removed, you can easily access the extra 10L of space in your tank without the need to "vent" (a procedure in which you manually open the valve while refueling) The procedure and more information is found here
