BASIC EQUIPMENT

Evening all,what does everyone consider basic tools/parts needed to carry in
the car,mine's a 1.8 auto carb,thanks

I'm the basic tool - I ensure I carry my Greenflag card with me though! ;0)

Tools are only as good as your knowledge - mine is minimal!

Im totally with you on that one! I just think if something was to go & was an
easy fix(ie a common fault) i (more likely) someone else could fix it

Daily.

Different screw drivers
full set of spanners
Gaffer/Duck tape
WD40
Volt Meter
Different size cable ties
Fuses
A full set of bulbs
Jump leads

Long trips
Spare parts list for example
Alternator belt
Plugs
Leads
Dizzy and rotor arm
Tow rope

Basically, what ever you feel comfortable dragging around with you and your level of knowledge and skill!  

standard vw tool kit, spare fuel pump & ecu relay, spare tci unit. wee multi tool, loop of jumper wire.

anything else in my book is pointless, if something breaks you need a full tool kit for, chances are you wont have the part required to fix it at the roadside anyway

I have a old small canvas tool bag that I keep some tools in and sling in the boot of which ever Golf I'm going out in. Also have an old coat (for lying on or crawling under car), top up oil and water in boot.

The bag contains stuff like; selection of spanners, screw drivers, adjustable spanner, small cheapy socket set, jump leads, tow rope, , sharp knife, piers, wire cutters, gaffer tape and cable ties, wheel nut wrench.

10 and 13mm spanners and screwdriver/bit set.

AA card with home start and relay. Priceless (well actually expensive but worth every penny)

A cheeky BluePoint set and a set of screwdrivers. 

I only carry a flat blade screw driver wrapped in a cloth in my glove box to adjust the carb and the standard vw jack and tools in the boot   

Thanks all,just put together a nice little kit in the boot for any little emergencies
& just for piece of mind
