How to Keep Your Volkswagen:
A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot

First published in 1969, this classic manual of automotive repair equips VW owners with the knowledge to handle every situation they will come across with any air-cooled Volkswagen built through 1978, including Bugs, Karmann Ghias, vans, and campers.

Easy to understand and fun to read information. For novice and veteran mechanics alike. Anecdotal descriptions, and clear language, this book takes the mystery out of diagnostic, maintenance, and repair procedures, and offers some chuckles along the way.

    I have a friend wiyh a 57 split window you could photograph his car and put it in place of what you are saying is a 55 beetle it would be more convincing than the early 70s model that’s there

    Hello Trent, thank you for pointing that out. I should have seen that myself but was very busy when this page was put together. I will leave your comment here but will just remove that photo.

    Thanks, I appreciate it and I feel silly for the oversight
