Points if you use any electronic replacement. Spare drop in dizzy good.

Lots of water because even though your vw isnt water cooled you are. Stash one of those big lt springwater under a seat.
cable ties, duct tape, s/s tie wire etc
Headlight globes.

Thats a good listing. Yes include some water as you may need it to cool the fule pump if it gets too hot.
and a funnel for the oil filler tube i hate it when i spill oil on a hot engine.
throw in a couple of tins of spray degreaser from the $2.00 shop.

depending on how far and where you are going, a puncture repair kit perhaps? they are good to have anyhow.
and dont forget the WD40!
i also keep a blanket in the beetle incase of unplanned picnics and crap weather, both of which could happen at any time during a road trip. |
