“THE reference for VW owners for 50 years

This is a well presented and easy to use reference on air cooled VWs and has been updated to include fuel injection etc since it was first published. Nor only a great source of information on how to maintain your air cooled VW but also for anyone who wants to learn how combustion engines, auto electrical systems, etc work…. young and old! I definitely commend this book to prospective buyers”

“How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive has long been regarded as the “Bible” among Volkswagen enthusiasts. It is the “Must Have ” and “Go To” manual for anyone wanting to keep their Beetle in good shape. This is my second copy of this book, the first I gave to my daughter when she decided that she wanted a Beetle of her own. The first editions of this book were written in the late 1960’s and can seem a little folksy and down home to some, but is full of relevant information and advice. The pictures in the book are often hand drawn and full of detail, along with a dialogue that is more like a friend teaching you about the car than the cold matter of fact style of other workshop manuals. John Muir makes the upkeep and maintenance of your Beetle a pleasure rather than a chore.”
