Just your registration and insurance (you must be insured here) >>

Photo ID (like a drivers licence for everyone over 16). YOUR customs guys like to see passports when you are going BACK.

vag-com, spare coilpacks,plugs and maf...

I've never taken a long trip in the TT but fwiw,
some folks taking long drives to TT-East or TT-West have had these failures happen to them.

I don't think that long drives cause these problems but they extended running of the car accelerate eventual failure.

If it does it can be a major pain, to get it towed to a dealer to have the items changed. Having those items handy helps.

If you are low in mileage you probably don't have to worry about it.
