Book Review: Volkswagen Official Service Manual
Summary: 4 Stars
A must have for any volkswagen enthusiast or do it yourselfer ! Call me stupid but i would like to see more pictures and exploded views.Book Review: Volkswagen Bug Self Help
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is well set out with reasonable descriptions for the Do It Your Selfer to follow.
As a new VW owner (with experience pulling apart Australian Holdens), I put a kit through the Carby. Got caught out a bit following the "dismantel" instructions when the "re-assemble" instructions were "do dismantle in reverse". The dismantle instructions just said take everything off, which I did for the course and fine adjustment screws without noting their current setting. Putting them back, I had not idea where to set them. Elsewhere in the "tune up section", it said to screw the fine adjustment in all the way and back it off between 2.5 and 3 turns. No advice on the course (until the car is running and warm), so I guessed 1.25. This seems to work OK. Will get a Tacho to do the tune-up regime.
Book Review: Good reference, but could use more detail
Summary: 4 Stars
I've found this to be a good reference, but it leaves me with a lot of questions every time I look something up. I usually have to supplement it with online research to be able to understand my repair projects correctly. I haven't purchased any other Bug repair manuals, so I'm not sure how it stands up against the others. It seems to be the most popular one out there with all the veedubbers online.Book Review: If you want to fiddle Beetle, get this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the official Service manual that VW of USA used. If you want do anything on your VW Type 1, you almost have to have this book. It is thick and with lots of pictures and not to corny language, you do have to a bit interestet in cars and mechanics to fully appreciate and understand this book. This book is also avaiable for other VW and other brands.Book Review: Buen manual , muy claro.
Summary: 4 Stars
Buen manual, complementa otros manuales del tema. Muy bien ilustrado. Posee detalles de la transmisión y caja de cambios que no son abordados en otros libros. Recomendable.
