Welcome mate.

Its really up to you what you would like from your car.

Heres what ive done to my interior.

Satnav upgrade
Highline cluster
Door warning led lights
Interior bulb changes


As you got a tdi you could remap it to around 140-150 bhp.

Suspension and wheels is the main things which will transform the look and feel of your car.

The list is endless with what you can do.

Thanks

Welcome.

If you were only to ever do a single mod to a 1.9 tdi, then it should be a good remap. They're painfully gutless otherwise. We have a BXE and as well as the torque gains, there's been a 3-5MPG increase on my wifes commute, and that's over winter.

Induction kit is pointless on a diesel really.

Agree with skard on the induction kit too.

I prefer oem filters on a tdi.

On my polo tdi it just made it so noisy and annoying.  Took it off after 2 weeks and with an oem filter the engine felt more responsive.

Angel tuning will take your car to 150bhp but personally I think thats too much pressure on the turbo and gearbox and clutch.
On my polo they took it from 75 to 111bhp. It finished my new clutch in 15k miles

Rtech who are a reputable tuner will take your car to 130 which I think is just about right .

The most common satnav is the RNS-510.

They are an OEM satnav with dvd player and a hard drive and SD card reader. Does all I want it to do.

theres loads of different versions, Ive got the LCD one (Version A and B). Its cheaper around £350 park.

Theres an LED version too which is the C version and above. Theres one for sale at the moment on here which is a bargain:

As mentioned earlier, In regards to remap, Rtech. They've been getting really good reviews on here.
