Product Description

Product Description

First published in 1969, this classic manual of automotive repair equips VW owners with the knowledge to handle every situation they will come across with any air-cooled Volkswagen built through 1978, including Bugs, Karmann Ghis, vans, and campers. With easy-to-understand, fun-to-read information- for novice and veteran mechanics alike-anecdotal descriptions and clear language, this book takes mystery out of diagnostic, maintenance, and repair producers, and offers some chuckles along the way.

About the Author

John Muir, mechanic, author, and the publisher, wrote the original How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive in 1969. He died in 1977.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps my volkswagon alive!!, 13 Jun 2009

This review is from: How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot (Paperback)
A must buy book for people who find the Haynes a little too technical. It really does help if you don't have a basic mechanics background.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent First Book!, 17 Nov 2008

This review is from: How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot (Paperback)
This is a smashing first book for anyone owning a VW T1 > T3. The book is written in plain English with a smidgeon of humour. Covers all the basics that the Haynes manual glosses over. It *is* dated and some part are obviously not to be taken as gospal but overall I'd thoroughly recommend it.
