Assuming you've kept on top of your maintenance.
Give it a major service before you leave and swap out things like brake pads, check your brake hoses for degradation, replace the flexible fuel hoses going from your chassis leg to your fuel rail/metering head, check all tyres, wheel bearings, ball joints and bushes. Go over the car and fix any coolant/oil leaks you may have, swap any dodgy looking coolant hoses, you can get them all brand new off autodoc now for only a few pounds, so it's not even expensive to do.
Really give it a birthday.
Do it a good hundred miles or so before the trip, so if you upset anything you'll know well in advance.
Doing this will dramatically reduce the kit you need to take with you and prevent any unwanted stoppages.
Then, I'd keep things like:
Coil pack
Spark plug leads
Dizzy Cap
Rotor Arm

And a basic tool kit.

Been going to the Nurburgring for about 20 years now and this is what I usually do.

I have a feeling the water ingress was caused by a pressure washer when my better half took the car for a wash as the door cards were all fine. A couple of warmer and drier days required now to get the job done.

The last time I had a leak in my car, a door seal helped. I ordered it here https://www.autodoc.co.uk/metalcaucho/8532718 and it worked for me. It's worth trying too.

I've got mine already thanks from VW Heritage

Mk2 Golf Chat / Spares list

Last post by KeithGolfMKII - January 28, 2026, 02:16:00 PM

Hi, I have had my MkII Golf Gti for just over 2 years now and I think that she's great fun. I use here for doing historic rallies and European regularity type events. The question I have is about a spares list that we should carry when we go on long European rallies. The last one was 2500miles in total. Thanks for any help

Given the location it could be something else and the wet patch on the door seal could be red herring. Could be the fresh air intake in the scuttle.

My thoughts too, while you're checking the scuttle, make sure the drain holes either end aren't blocked.
If they are, water will pool here and find a way into the car.
