Nice! Good to see another TDI on here. X2 the fill neck mod. Lets you fill at least another gallon and it is easier to get consistent fill-ups IMO. Diesel foams in the filler neck and it is hard to tell when it is really full. You can also hold the nozzle against the button as you fill but why not just pop it out? I would also recommend a FrostHeater, especially if you have to park outside. It speeds warm-up times which is good for mpg but also makes starting easier. These diesels don't make heat very quickly untill you put a load on them.
