I've replaced nearly every component in the secondary air system. I've only recently replaced everything in the AC system except for the condensor. (which would be pretty simple compared to the evaporator) Some pics here: http://www.craigtown.com/2006/08/my-neighbors-think-im-insane.html Other minor service items include spark plugs and wires. Other slightly major things include coil-over suspension and brakes. You're right though, Bentley is key. Mostly oil changes, but my ‘97 GTI VR6 has been giving me plenty to work on these days.

Everything needs a special tool nowadays, it gets expensive.
