   I must have owned 3 VW’s and then 2 porsches and then 9 BMW’s after i bought this book and serviced them all myself. It all started with this book. Muir does much more than give you a step by step, he gives you the confidence to tackle the job whatever level you start at. He talks about the act of preparing for the mechanical job like a zen buddhist. I took the book from edmonton-panama with me in ’77 with my ’67 microbus. The Van is long gone but I wouldn’t sell my greasy book for a thousand bucks. It’s way more than an ‘idiot’s guide’.

   I never regretted buying this book. Your best asset to be able to correctly choose (buy) your air-cooled engine vehicule, to learn tips on how to drive it and to do all your maintenance/troubleshooting yourself! For the complete idiot : really easy to follow! Nice clear drawings.

   Combine with your workshop manual – you’re all set!

   Most of the book is straight forward, clear and to the point. Probably one of the best automotive books around, that’s geared towards the novice technician. The book will definitely get you and your bug running on 4 cylinders. The only bad point to the book is it was written by a flower child, so he gives you advice like “Have happy people been here ….”
