The must-have guide to fixing your classic VW
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.

Well worth the purchase!
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.

What a book!
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

Tolles Geschenk für Luftgekühlte und die, die es werden wollen.
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.

not only for "airheads"
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.
