I am new to the forum, and do not own a 914 yet, but I plan to fly in and drive a 914 home. It will be about a 1600 mile trip. My question is, what should I bring along? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Accelerator cable
Alternator belt One front wheel bearing set Tools, all metric, sockets, wrenches etc. Duct tape and electrical tape Spare fuses (they are unique to vw/porsche...not easily obtainable on the road) Spare relays, but we can get you around that. A metal coat hanger...cause its so very useful. Spark plugs, points, cap, wires. Carb cleaner (if carbed) Wire cutters, pliers etc...a basic full blown tool kit. An aluminum floor jack Grubby clothes A mat to lay on at the side of the road Vice grips A smart phone or tablet with internet access to reach out for help here. At the very least, there should be someone within a few hours of your breakdown that might be friendly enough to come help you out. Most of us have at least two cars worth of parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you are nervous about it, post the details of your trip ahead of time. People are really cool here and may volunteer to be on standby. Good luck with your trip. |
