Subject:Tune-up Time! Recommendations Needed.

A VW grin, nod, and wink to y'all! (and that special over-th'-head
'possum twirl to Unca Joel)

I'm getting ready to do a pre-season tune-up. My first one ever! (Being a
novice, is it possible to do any damage while doing a tune-up?) Even
though the van ('89 Syncro Westie) is very young in terms of mileage, I
don't think the 84+ year-old PO ever had a thorough tune-up done on it! I
see that many of you replace the cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. What other
things should I consider? Finally, what brand/type/kind of cap, rotor,
wires, etc. are best to use as replacements? I'll probably order them
from one of the List vendors. VW here in Anchorage...well, need I say
more? And the FLAPS seems sorta questionable. NAPA wants to sell me all
NAPA parts. For plugs I'm going with the Bosch Platinum often referred to
here on the list.

TIA, this should be fun!
