For over 25 years How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive has provided humorous step-by-step repair and maintenance instructions for all air-cooled VW's built through 1978, for novice and veteran mechanics alike. Taking a philosophical view of mechanics to demystify the notion that only "gearheads" can repair cars, this eminently straightforward and practical guide explains everything from "what's a wrench?" to complete engine overhaul procedures for most models built from 1965-1978.

In 21 quirky chapters, the author covers diagnostic, maintenance, and repair procedures in simple, illustrated detail, and includes extras like "How to Buy a Volkswagen", as well as a politically astute history of the Volkswagen. This edition contains a new section on the electrical system, plus a revised resource list of VW clubs, magazines, books, and parts suppliers for anyone wishing to restore or modify a Volkswagen. All updates to this edition were tested and approved by a certified VW mechanic.

Anecdotal descriptions, clear, easy-to-follow language. and whimsical illustrations make reading this book fun as well as educational -- underneath the car or elsewhere.

Review This Product

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 | Review by: Dirk

If you own a Beetle, without having read this book, you probably hate it and desperately want another car. If you love your Beetle, you have probably already read this book, and wouldn't consider selling it for anything less than world peace and immortality. If you own any of the air-cooled Volkswagens, this book is not an option, it's an absolute must. Save yourself endless trouble and frustration, buy this book!
