Dremd, Do the ventectomy on your TDI. It allows quicker, more accurate fill-ups and gives you about two gallons more fuel capacity. It takes about a minute to do and there are no drawbacks to doing is mod on a diesel. (tip- put a clean rag in the fill neck first)

I have serious six-speed envy now. It looks like it was well worth the trouble.
