Absolutely Essential for the Vintage Beetle Owner

There are all kinds of repair resources available online - and oftentimes the backyard auto gear-head can start to believe that most every issue can be solved in online forums where collective knowledge and experience on very specific subjects is easily accessible. That said getting onto forums whether on a mobile phone or a PC isn't always the brightest idea in the hot greasy confines of a garage or when troubleshooting - or even rebuilding an engine. Sometimes the best thing is to go back to the source, the official manufacturer's text / reference guide for the product. In the case of the Super Beetle / Beetle, such is the case.The wealth of information - from electrical schematics to torque specifications on almost every single bolt and fastener in the vehicle - the Bentley manual is a handy reference whether you're a restoring, repairing, or attempting to troubleshoot in a vain effort that combines google queries and forum posts. This guide is the THE framework for understanding your vehicle, and the forums and internet resources on your desktop (or iPhone) are for filling in the blanks.It's funny - Volvo fans call the Bentley service manual for 240's the "Bentley Bible." And they're not too far off when they call it that; it is Bible, the word, when it comes to many different vehicles - especially those of the northern European variety.While the pictures may be dated - and information does leave some gaps (hacks, for example, that have been pioneered in the field over the past four decades), the guide itself is essential as a reference and instruction manual for the individual owner who wants to know more about what's going on under that decklid, or for the professional mechanic undertaking repairs that require a significant amount of information not easily accessible through the "tribal knowledge" system of the garage or other more formal resources.In short if you own the car, get the Bentley, and start to study. You may not read it all - or just use it when you come across an issue - either way it's the best non-metal tool you'll keep in your garage.

Bentley Manual

Back in 1981, I purchased a 1970 Karmann Ghia. I was a senior in high school, and could not afford a BMW 320i, or the the sexy 2002. I looked really hard at new volkswagens but on m McDonald's salary that wasn't going to happen. So I scraped up 1500 and bought the Ghia. The car was easy to work on. There were many manuals available, the Bentley being one which I owed. It was a great book, it had color wiring diagrams ( at the time not needed because my car wasnt that old) it wasn't written n overly technical terms that an 18 year old kid couldn't understand. It helped me with that car and I have fond memories of that time. In 2006 I saw a car for sale, the same year, same color as the one I had in high school for 3000. I bought it. Not realizing that the car was almost 40 years old, not thinking that there may not be a shop to take it to for repairs. Of course I no longer had my Bentley manual. Sony initial search for one was a shocker to say the least. The online Volkswagen suppliers had it for sale for well over one hundred dollars, minus the color wiring diagram( which is now very important for a 40 year old car) suddenly I remembered Amazon and got the book, in a hardback no less for about 50 w/color.This is a great book for anyone who owns an older Volkswagen and wants to do the work themselves. Or if you aren't doing the work, it will help educate you about the cars so you won't get robbed by the folks working on your car:)

We needed a repair manual for a VW to have on hand. Looking forward to putting it to good use. My Dad used these manuals as I was growing up.
