Every VW home mechanic should get this book.,

This review is from: Volkswagen 1200 Workshop Manual: 1961-1965 (Paperback)
The Big Blue Bentley is very informative and the procedures are very easy to follow. Practically everything one wants and needs to know when repairing their aircooled VW's is in this book. Very highly recommended. I give this book "Two very greasy thumbs-up"!

The bible of swingaxle VW maintenance,

This review is from: Volkswagen 1200 Workshop Manual: 1961-1965 (Paperback)
If you have a swingaxle Beetle then this book is where you get to learn all the factory methods of maintenance. Every step has pictures and clear instructions for you to follow. Very expensive. Buy this only if you are totally obsessed with VW maintenance. A lot of the special factory tools are almost impossible to find and this dissapointed me quite a bit. As it does not cover later engines, transmissions, etc. it would be helpful to have other manuals and books to help you with your VW restoration. Books I would recommend are the later VW model service manuals by Bentley and Haynes and the How To Rebuild book by Tom Wilson. If you want to tune your VW there is Bill Fishers How to Hotrod book which is ancient (1971) but still very relevant to tuning aircooled VWs. If in doubt you can participate in online VW forums and ask questions. It took me 6 months to rebuild my VW motor following instructions in this book and other service manuals (Haynes, Autobooks). 5 of those 6 months were for research and getting all the necessary tools ready. Only about 1 months work on weekends and friday nights to rebuild a 1585cc dual port VW motor for my brother's 1965 Beetle.

My favorite part of the book is the illustrations- no other manual shows you so well what the heck they're talking about.
