Thank you, J.T. I began to learn other languages; of photography and seeing; of carpentry and working with my hands; of music and listening.
The first one wasn't in color and was spiral bound. The car I use it for, however, is the same.
This is my 3rd copy of this book. I had learned its language.
From Chapter 22: "It (learning to work on my Volkswagen) was the beginning of my freedom. Something that had chained me before, I now had a relationship with.
And there's no doubt in my mind that my experience with the Idiot manual was its start. Judd IV"This has stated my experience better than I could.
This book is a real help when you're trying to repair an old air cooled VW Bug or Bus.
I bought an early edition in the early 70's and lost it after I sold my VWs. Unless you are a certified mechanic, this is a must have book for the care of an air cooled VW. I just bought an old air cooled VW and I remember how useful the earlier book was. This is a revised an updated book that is now more useful than the first. 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. HIGHLY RECOMENDED
Check [.]. If you want to step into the classic VW world, buy this book and also be prepared to do your own work. This is "THE" book in how to maintain and work on the classic air cooled VW's. I am "tool friendly" but far from a mechanic by any means. But don't just rely solely on forums, get the book. for additional opinions. All step by step.
[.]. It is not a mechanics manual, its written for ANYONE to understand. 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. I love it and wouldn't be without mine. 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. you'll save more the first time you use it than it costs.
This manual is a necessity for any VW owner. I got it quickly, and at a good price from Amazon.com
