How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot

A must buy for any classic VW enthusiast. Perfectly illustrated and quite humerous.

Just bought a VW T2 1973 camper and a friend recommended this to me as he has had this for few years. I have done a little work on air cooled engines in the past but really do need help with a lot of fixes etc. When i recieved this book i instantly started to browse different topics and found it easy to follow, very ready friendly, informative and for the price great vallue for money! Great book for the VW enthusiast...

How could I give this anything less than five stars? If you own a classic VW, this book is a must-have. In fact, maybe get yourself two copies: one for the workshop and one to keep in the car (for when you break down). The information is incredibly useful and clearly explained. Sure, the diagrams are black and white and hand-drawn, but that’s part of the charm. A fantastic resource and a great book all around.

THE ULTIMATE VW manual. The classic VW owners manual that EVERYONE should own. Great advice tips and broken down diagrams!

Should have bought this long, long ago! Once you auto translate the American jargon it’s a good read and highly informative. A great purchase.

The book is easy to read and has some useful tips if you are going to use your VW as a daily driver.

A legendary status. A very long print run. And yet for a while I only owned the Haynes manual, what a fool, this book dwarfs the Haynes in both size and quality. The wording is basic and colloquial. It's actually quite an interesting read, rather than simply a dull manual to read only when required. I now fully understand the hype surrounding this book, it's an absolute steal at the price point it currently sits at, covers type 1 (Beetle) which is what I have, but also believe it covers the other air cooled models VW were producing during the same era

Really informative

Excelente manual

Habe dieses Buch auf Anraten eines Bekannten für einen Freund zum Geburtstag gekauft, dieser war im Mai die Freude über dieses Geschenk hält bei ihm bis heute an. Schuld daran sind die von skizzierten Bebilderungen die so weit ins Detail gehen, das selbst Laien verstehen worum es in diesem Buch geht und das wollten die Autoren wohl auch erreichen, einfach ein tolles Buch und schönes Geschenk.

If you are working on a classic VW . Beetle or Van. This book has everything in it . And it's written in a comical way. It beats any other technical book

The "bible" on the VW as far as I'm concerned. I have owned this book, two different revisions and it reads great, makes you understand the principals of the VW well.

Een hilarisch boek en tegelijk een zeer duidelijke omschrijving van werkzaamheden en onderhoud voor luchtgekoelde volkswagen eigenaren en / of liefhebbers. Een lust om te lezen met zeer mooie / maffe / geweldige tekeningen ter illustratie. Een echte aanrader ! Voor de prijs hoef je het ook niet te laten liggen.
