5.0 out of 5 stars "Tells how...." doesn't capture it -- This is a must-have, January 13, 2002

So, you bought that squareback you've had your eye on since you were 18? You're going to need more than that "Compleat (sic) Idiot's Guide..." to get the whole thing working the way it should.

Wiring diagrams, Breakaparts, cross-sections and every number you'll ever need to identify, evaluate and fix whatever plagues your type 3. Add the decidedly helpful pictures and you'll be tooling down Highway 1 in your air-cooled wonder in no time.

By the way -- Type 3s are notchbacks, squarebacks, variants -- not "Love Bugs."

This is a great manual for any level VW repair "expert" ... from the hints of finding hidden bolts, screws and wires to the more complex EFI trouble-shooting ... this book has it all. Considered the repair "bible" by owners and Type 3 wanna-be-owners ... the only thing that would make it better is to go back to the full-color wiring diagram that the earlier editions had in the electrical section. A "must have" for any T3 VW/owner collector.
