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.

If you buy or have one of these cars The best book to get hands down.
forget the other books, information that is really needed usually to generalized, or incorrect, this is the definative item...

The book I ordered was delivered on time, just as expected. Whenever I place an order through Amazon.com I rest assured that I'll get it when I want it. As for the book itself, what can I say? It's an Official Volkswagen Service Manual, you can't go wrong when you buy something like this. A must for the enthusiast as well as the pro.

I have used other manuals from Bentley, and have found them all to be easy to read and follow.
