 Perfect! April 14, 2008

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 Maybe the book is little outdated because of the date it was published but it has plenty of liner lones about the latter VW models and appendix articles as well.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!
A benchmark in technical writing November 18, 2007
My father's motto regarding do-it-yourself repairs was "anything you can do, someone else can do better." I heard that refrain hundreds of times when I was a kid and a teenage, trying to learn how things work and how to fix them when they break. Reading this book and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" were breakthrough moments in my life. I owe a good bit of my life and career to John Muir. Learning that I could disassemble a complicated (at the time, for me) engine and return it to its proper place in working order opened up a world of technology to me and I have never looked back to this book with anything but affection.
I no longer own a VW (after 20 years of several bugs and vans), but I still love this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.
