Essential Items to Carry in Your Eurovan 5 Cyl. 2.5L

[VWinny]

Essential items to take with from all of us that have been stranded. These can be parts, tools, manuals etc

Dedicated to working towards not having a separate account for towing expenses and elimination of towing insurance add-ons.

Also hope this helps anyone who may have become an alcoholic or addict from the hardships endured in your Eurovan journey.

You should carry a spare ignition switch, and a small screwdriver to change it out. Familiarize yourself with swapping out the serpentine belt.
