Book Beetle Owners Workshop Manual

Volkswagen Beetle Owners Workshop Manual by Autobooks

A good workshop manual with lots of facts and straightforward delivery, quite a few clear pictures. This is for people who all ready know what they're doing enough to understand the instructions, and provides a good compliment to the Muir book above.

This has been republished, but does seem a bit expensive new so it might be worth looking around some jumble / yard sales or checking the second hand bookshops before buying a fresh copy.
