5.0 out of 5 stars Vw Beetle & Karmann Ghia Automotive Repair Manual (Haynes Re, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This is a great book for the Do-it your self, back yard, VW mechanic. Information is easy to find and easy to use. This book has full wiring diagrams. They were color coded at one time, but the black and white version is still quite useful. I find this book has much more info than the Chilton repair guide. If I had to choose one manual for my VW, this would be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haynes Repair & Workshop manual is one of the best, June 11, 2006

By	Mr. Lee T. Noonan "68autobug" (SCONE, N.S.W Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own 12 different Repair/Workshop/service manuals that cover My 1968 1500 Beetle and the 1600 engine. This is the manual I read most, when I find a problem. Its well written, has many photographs, diagrams and exploded view diagrams which show You how things go back together after You have pulled them apart. I can't think of any subjects that are missing or not well recorded. I would recommend this manual to anyone owning a Volkswagen Beetle, in any country, LHD or Right Hand Drive.
This manual won't let You down... its great...

5.0 out of 5 stars South Africa, July 24, 2006

By	Nuno Miguel Da Graca (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased my first Beetle, a 1961 model year. I intend performing a ground-up restoration. I just received my copy of this book and have read it cover to cover. This is a very honest book and offers easy step by step guides in servicing the vehicle and carrying out all mechanical repairs. What it doesn't cover in sufficient detail is any sort of body / interior restoration, but then it doesn't claim to do so. A great book and I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty.
