Editorial Review:

First published in 1969, this classic manual of automotive repair equips VW owners with the knowledge to handle every situation they will come across with any air-cooled Volkswagen built through 1978, including Bugs, Karmann Ghias, vans, and campers. With easy-to-understand, fun-to-read information -- for novice and veteran mechanics alike -- anecdotal descriptions, and clear language, this book takes the mystery out of diagnostic, maintenance, and repair procedures, and offers some chuckles along the way. This edition features new information on troubleshooting, new photos, and an updated resource list.

VW Repair Book - JWW:

My son bought a 1979 VW MiniBus to work on. I bought this as a gift for him. It was well received.

A MUST for all air cooled Volkswagen owners:

If you have (or plan to buy) an air cooled VW this is your book. It makes everything very easy. Illustrations are great and it's all very clear and simple.
An absolute must.

This is a fine book....:

This is a really good book if you are into doing your own VW repairs (most owners of old VW's pretty much need to be somewhat mechanically inclined and this book will definately help). The book is written in an easy to read fun format, has had numerous updates over the years and covers just about any issue you'll be dealing with. I think this is a must have for any VW owner. A+
