Review: 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.
Review: Great value - Exactly what I was looking for nice hardcover manual full of information

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-have if you own one of these cars!
*by A***B on April 5, 2015*

This is THE service manual for these cars, from the days when cars were simple enough to put pretty much everything in a single hardback book. If you own a Beetle, you need a copy (If you don't want to work on your own car, what are you doing with an air-cooled VW?). I bought this for my 16 year old son when he acquired his '74 Beetle. He knows a bit about cars and tools, and this is his starting place for anything he needs to do to improve and maintain a car built 22 years before he was born. It doesn't however, tell you everything. There's not a lot of information about the body, for example how to remove and repair a window regulator. But it's a starting place, and as the new owner of an old car that's been alternately well- and poorly-maintained by different owners, this book has allowed him to unravel twisted wiring mistakes and restore his Beetle to something close to it's original form.
