Okay, we all have one or more VW's so like me nobody has or need a road service card for the aircooled. In Holland a nice man in a VW will assist you with a breakdown if you have or buy such a card. VW advertised with it: "Do you know what your waiting for when you call the roadside service?..." I'm sure you guys can make use of an equivelant service but like me you don't pay contribution for something you don't need. (I really never needed it and i don't have one.) But in the unique event you do have a stroke of unusual, coincidental failure with our indestructable car's: what's next? We don't all share Jim's encyclopedic knowledge of our wonderfull machine. You need a pocket "first aid" book with all the roadside tricks there are, especially for the type 3. It fits in your shirtpocket so also in the glove compartment. I have one (in dutch). Free translated it's called "Breakdown? Drive away!" 80 pages with all the info you need when your car is doing the unthinkable; a mechanical defect. (first check if there's gas in the tank!) Step by step it leads you to the cause of your problem: Ideal! Do you guy's have something like that? If so could it be scanned and put on our new site? Would be a great asset. Question #2: What spareparts do we take with us to help ourselves in this rare event. I'm going to make a tour to the Grossglockner (Austria) and wanna compose a "first aid kit". Suggestions?
