05 is the turbo 4 with the reliable td04 turbo and a decent PCV system from the factory. So no timing belt to change either.
Other stuff depends on mileage and condition. I tend to keep a spare hooter valve on hand, dic, if the fuel pump is old, worth having one of those on hand also. I had a Mackay hose set (coolant bypass valve delete) leak on me so I am now going with the do88 silicone ones.
For an automatic tranny, keep up on the fluid changes, but also, look at the condition of the lines under the radiator area if you live in the salt belt. Ditto for brake lines near the fuel tank. They tend to go, and when they do, it is dangerous.
There's probably more stuff, but it depends on the mileage to some degree. Good luck!
