On my big trip I took a spare alternator and starter plus all the parts I
listed previously. Go to your favorite mart store and buy a little plastic box
(or two) about the size a shoe box. Keep filling it with parts until it is
full. Stash everything. under the back seat and it will be there when you need
it...and you are going to need it someday.

If the brushes are good with no burnt armature.or noisey bearings run
it.Anything an the car can go bad.I would be more concerned about somethig
that would leave you stranded on the road.Like a coil or fuel pump.Once you
start trying to cover it all there is no place to stop.Keep it simple.
That's my .02

OK, need advice from all the VW mechanic wizards: Still thinking about the
5,000 mile cruise to the Bug-In and the KG Treffen with the CA 1 highway cruise
thrown in. Will drive the Baja. Everything on this car is new or recently
gone through except for the generator. Brushes are still good, generator works
fine and was replaced new, but about 100,000 miles ago. So, should I play it
safe and just replace the generator with a new one before the trip?
And don't give me any crud about replacing it with an alternator. I think
generators are much more reliable and I'm not pulling the juices that require
an alternator.
