A good socket set with a good range of spanners and sockets, and what ever tool needed for head bolts maybe a big toques bit or it might just be a nut head but not sure on the 1.4.
Dont think you need any special tools. Oh a toque wrench to toque the head bolts up

A breaker bar for your sockets or failing that some steel tube that fits over your t bar or ratchet (last resort as you don't wanna put silly pressure on ratchets)
