Book Description
When How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive was first published in 1969, launching John Muir Publications, it was affectionately adopted by VW enthusiasts, and John Muir found himself regarded as the "sage" of air-cooled VWs. As one reader put it, "This book is a philosophy lesson disguised as a repair manual." With clear instructions on how to fix absolutely everything in an air-cooled VW, it covers all models built through 1978, including the Bug, Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, Camper, and more than 20 other vehicles. Full of funny stories, philosophical ponderings, and Peter Aschwanden's easy-to-understand illustrations, this special anniversary edition includes readers' accounts of how the book made them laugh out loud while they fixed their VWs and saved money.

 A great gift! May 16, 2008
I bought this as a graduation gift for my cousin who is fixing up an old VW Van. I bought it because of the fun hippie style drawings, but he loves it for the info! Really a great gift for any (air cooled) VW owner!
 Perfect! April 14, 2008
Amazing book, everything you need to know about Volkswagens with great drawings and good humor.
The VW bible April 9, 2008
This is the essential manual for all air cooled VW's. Great guide for beginners. Teaches: valve adjustments, timing, clutch adjustments, engine removal, steering box adjustment, brakes, etc. Provides mechanical foundation for any make auto repairs. Must have.
Indespensible December 2, 2007
If you have an air-cooled Volkswagen (or three) you need this book. This is the first manual you should buy. Seriously.
For all the VW community, this book is GREAT November 24, 2007
It tells you everything you need to know about our beloved VW's, and how to fix the problems in a step-by-step procedures. The drawings are a class in its own and very illustrative. Maybe the book is little outdated because of the date it was published but it has plenty of liner lones about the latter VW models and appendix articles as well.
What I really loved about this book it at the end, where it gives you a list of the most common troubles your VW can come across in any circumstances, and a guide of what to do to solve it (referring, of course, to the specific chapter where that is being covered).
A must for all the VW nuts!
