How to keep your Volkswagen alive
John Muir - ISBN 0945465122

This book is generally referred to as ‘the idiot guide’. An excellent book for people who are not mechanically minded, written by an old hippy - “If I get hung up with maybe a busted knuckle …I feel my tools until the rage subsides and sense and love return”. This is just the type of book you need when everything seems to be going wrong, because some comment, or cartoon will make everything OK… It covers general maintenance and repair, with wiring diagrams, and is easy to follow.
