Summary: Best Book Available!!!
Comment: This is by far the best shop manual available for the Beetle and Ghia! I have a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Type I, and the Bently Manual has helped me more than any other book during the car's restoration. It has just about all the information you could need from a manual. And hey, it *is* the official service manual, published for Volkswagen!! There is only one downside which is not a major problem but certainly would help: there's no Index.

Summary: Too Expensive, No Index, Not Good for the Average Joe
Comment: If you were to only buy one book on how to repair your Bug, DON'T buy this one. While it does contain a lot of information, it has several problems.

First, it does not have an index. Second, it does not even have a centralized table of contents. Instead, each chapter has its own table of contents.

Next, the book assumes you are working in a profesional mechanics shop, with hydraulic lifts, etc. This was made clear to me, when the section on removing the engine said to LOWER the car to 3 feet.. Shoot, I barely got the car above 2 1/2 feet with my floor jack, and that was using wood props. Also, they tell you to use lubricants that are not common, which can be substituted with a more common lubricant.

If you have the money to blow, it probably is good to have this guide, as it is the "official" one, but I would recommend the Haynes guide above this one any day.

Summary: Excellent book, however I wish the wiring was in color.
Comment: 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???
