 Buy this book! A must for the mechanically declined March 3, 1998
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book is near the top of my all-time best books list. My brother gave me a copy of this book when my first Beetle engine threw a rod. It enabled me (a 17-year-old overhaul virgin) to completely overhaul the engine by myself. 17 years later, it's very dog-eared, but has helped me through several overhauls, and has given me the confidence to tackle a Bug restoration. If you can only afford one VW book, this is it. Doesn't cover body work much, but the mechanical system description and illustrations will appeal to anyone funky enough to own an air-cooled VW. I'm pleased to see that it is still in print. John Muir is gone now, but he lives large in my estimation!
 A nessasary book to any Volkswagen maintenance Library January 5, 1998

Having been a factory VW/Audi technician in a deal ership, I use this book often in my past and current repair work. It is down to earth and guides you all along the way step by step. It warns you of up coming problems and maintenance tips to keep you ahead of your maintenance and repairs. It gives you the confidence to do the job yourself or tells you at what point you need to take it to a shop. Good troubleshooting and emergency repair guide.Good illiustrations and even shows you how to build special tools,thus saving you money. M.C.

This is a terrific book to add to your library of books for VW's. The author has a unique style lacking in other service manuals. You will not be disappointed with your purchase. You will save at least the cost of the book when you perform your first repairs. The author gives you the confidence to "go ahead and do it"!
An absolute necessity for the Beetleist November 25, 1997

Ok, so this book doesn't stand alone. You need at least one other shop manual, if only for the pictures... but this is the book that helps the other book make sense, with simple how-to explanations, plus helpful "why-is-this?" tracts. If you're considering buying an old VW, just include this twenty bucks in the purchase price (or include about $300-500 for the first six months of repairs and maintenance!) If you already have a VW, PUT THIS IN YOUR SHOPPING CART NOW. I'm buying my second copy of the Idiot Book because my first copy was one of the only things removed when my car was stolen last month. Someone had their priorities straight, sort of.
You need this book. October 6, 1997
I first bought this book in 1973. If you don't buy it, you shouldn't be driving.
