Product Description

This Volkswagen Type I service manual covers Beetles, Super Beetles, VW Convertibles and Karmann Ghias for the model years 1970 through 1979. This manual was created specifically to cover air-cooled Volkswagen models built for sale in the United States and Canada. Service to Volkswagen owners is of top priority to the Volkswagen organization and has always included the continuing development and introduction of new and expanded services. In line with this purpose, Volkswagen of America, Inc. has introduced this Volkswagen Official Service Manual. The aim throughout has been simplicity, clarity and completeness, with practical explanations, step-by-step procedures, and accurate specifications. Though the do-it-yourself Volkswagen owner will find this manual indispensable as a source of the same detailed maintenance and repair information available at an authorized Volkswagen dealer, the Volkswagen owner who has no intention of working on his or her car will find that reading and owning this manual will make it possible to discuss repairs more intelligently with a professional technician.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book, however I wish the wiring was in color.
I purchased your book from a local VW Dealership and paid a lot more than what you sale it, but the book was still worth to me what I paid for it. My only disappoint is with the wiring diagrams lines are not in color. I ordered the book because the one I saw had the wiring diagrams in color. In effect the diagrams are basically the same as those in the Haynes catelog which is about a third the cost. Understand my point here, cost is not the issue the lack of color photos is my dissatifaction. Overall you manual is EXCELLENT, easily 5 STARS. I AM WILLING TO PAY TO FOR A COPY OF THE COLORED WIRING DIAGRAM FOR A 1972 KARMANN GHIA. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE???
