I had learned its language. From Chapter 22: "It (learning to work on my Volkswagen) was the beginning of my freedom. And there's no doubt in my mind that my experience with the Idiot manual was its start. The first one wasn't in color and was spiral bound. Judd IV"This has stated my experience better than I could. Something that had chained me before, I now had a relationship with.
Thank you, J.T. This is my 3rd copy of this book. The car I use it for, however, is the same. I began to learn other languages; of photography and seeing; of carpentry and working with my hands; of music and listening.
This book is a real help when you're trying to repair an old air cooled VW Bug or Bus.
Unless you are a certified mechanic, this is a must have book for the care of an air cooled VW. This is a revised an updated book that is now more useful than the first. HIGHLY RECOMENDED I bought an early edition in the early 70's and lost it after I sold my VWs. I just bought an old air cooled VW and I remember how useful the earlier book was. It will walk you through step by step proceedures without the use of pictures (trust me it's better that way, honest) in away that anyone can understand, hense the name of the book.
you'll save more the first time you use it than it costs. But don't just rely solely on forums, get the book. All step by step. It is not a mechanics manual, its written for ANYONE to understand. The author tells you exactly what tools you need, how to substitute in a pinch if you break down, how to troubleshoot just about everything. [.].
in addition to human help has really good wiring diagrams as well. Check [.]. I am "tool friendly" but far from a mechanic by any means. If you want to step into the classic VW world, buy this book and also be prepared to do your own work. for additional opinions. This is "THE" book in how to maintain and work on the classic air cooled VW's.
I love it and wouldn't be without mine. They are great machines but require frequent TLC to stay running well, but, most people that want to get into VW already know that and actually enjoy tinkering away.
This manual is a necessity for any VW owner. I got it quickly, and at a good price from Amazon.com
