On cars this old it's really hard to say. If the car's been well maintained then most things will be fine. On a FI car, I'd recommend carrying some 5/16" fuel hose, unless you just replaced ALL the hoses. I've often carried stashes of parts, only to find that I needed something else. I guess the BEST thing to take along is a jack and tools. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
