Did quite a few not so Eco-mods recently (some help, none really hurt).
1) Installed orange TPMS (highly recommended, not just for price, just for TPMS as well).
2) fixed several leaks in the tires that the car came with (6 total nails/ wires).
3) installed R-line dead pedal which believe it or not, allows quicker cornering for me so I don't slide around in the cushy seat.
4) installed early MKIV style sunroof switch that allows full open of sunroof with a single turn vs turn and hold (I know it sounds super lazy, but I probably use the A/C a tad less.
5) started keeping a Fuelly for the car.
6) flushed the brakes several times, I don't think they were dragging, but they now feel normal vs mush that they felt before. As a side note, I'm always amazed how quick normal people kill brakes, this car had a full set at 50k, my last car had 250k on fronts, and the rears made it to 200k.
7) started thinking about trailler hitch, this guys is almost perfect, but I'll run mine down another inch so the top matches with the bottom of the bumper and blends with the rear valence.
Custom 2" trailer hitch installed - Pics - TDIClub Forums as another side note, mine is the same color/ gen wagon as his.
8) added bluetooth/ iPod integration to factory stereo. Still need to add my Sirius radio.
9) imported another FIS cluster from
Deebeaux - Euro VW/VAG/TDI Parts & Tool Rentals . Dave is the man for all things cluster related! Highly recommended, you can also find him on TDIclub and occasionally the vortex.
10) ScanGauge II mounted
11) picked up a BlackVue DR 400G
BlackVUE DR400G HD - In-car Full HD Camcorder - GPS Version - Taxi Security Camera - Vehicle Security Camera very impressive, gets license plates all weather with ease, faces are sketchy at best. Also records vehicles speed and location (from GPS) and multi axis g-force from an accelerator. Draws a tad over 1 amp (12 volts) in driving mode, and about 3/4 amp in parked mode (no GPS/ acceleramator). Technically this wouldn't have saved me, but I would have had a solid civil case against the guy with video.
12) probably a dozen more tiny things that I can't remember while sick with bronchitis.
