4.0 out of 5 stars Beetle 8 April 2004
By "beebs-uk"
Format:Paperback
Highly Recommended - everything you'd expect from the haynes series of books.

This book is easy to understand although a complete novice may struggle to follow some of the techniques and terminology.

The manual covers every aspect of the Beetle and Karmann Ghia from troubleshooting to actually getting in there and trying to fix it (example of problem: vehicle pulls to one side when braking - a diagnosis and solution follows)

The book comprises of step-by-step procedures for basic maintenance which are well illustrated and includes tips i wish i had come across 10years ago!

note: although its based on a complete teardown and rebuild, dont expect to be able to pull apart a beetle and put it back together. Its more based upon an individual section at a time such as brakes and then another section on engine electrical systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vw Beetle & Karmann Ghia Automotive Repair Manual (Haynes Re 18 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a great book for the Do-it your self, back yard, VW mechanic. Information is easy to find and easy to use. This book has full wiring diagrams. They were color coded at one time, but the black and white version is still quite useful. I find this book has much more info than the Chilton repair guide. If I had to choose one manual for my VW, this would be the one.

1.0 out of 5 stars This 2006 Edition has been severely downgraded. 1 Feb 2010
By schunacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The 1998 edition (purple cover with hand drawn Bug) was a much better manual. This 2006 edition (dark blue cover with photo of a blue Bug) has had all VW copyrighted material removed. This includes dozens of VW exploded views, wiring diagrams, and photographs. All that remains are some photos that were taken by "Larry's Foreign Car Repair" (see the acknowledgements behind the title page). The acknowledgement actually used to thank Volkswagen of America, Inc. until this edition. Presumably Haynes no longer wanted to pay the royalty or license fees to VW so they stripped the manual. One example of the destruction is Chapter 4, Fuel and Exhaust Systems, which used to be 20 pages and is now 12 pages. Another example: the wiring diagrams are now simplified line drawings instead of the much more detailed VW versions. You can still get useful information from this manual and you can still get the VW content by buying the awesome official VW service manuals, e.g. 1952-57: Workshop Manual: Volkswagen Types 11, 14, and 15 : 1952-1957. But if you want this manual then get the older version if you can, it is much better than the new one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haynes Repair & Workshop manual is one of the best 12 Jun 2006
By Mr. Lee T. Noonan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I own 12 different Repair/Workshop/service manuals that cover My 1968 1500 Beetle and the 1600 engine. This is the manual I read most, when I find a problem. Its well written, has many photographs, diagrams and exploded view diagrams which show You how things go back together after You have pulled them apart. I can't think of any subjects that are missing or not well recorded. I would recommend this manual to anyone owning a Volkswagen Beetle, in any country, LHD or Right Hand Drive.

This manual won't let You down... its great...
