This is a fine book.... This is a really good book if you are into doing your own VW repairs (most owners of old VW's pretty much need to be somewhat mechanically inclined and this book will definately help). The book is written in an easy to read fun format, has had numerous updates over the years and covers just about any issue you'll be dealing with. I think this is a must have for any VW owner. A+

Great book for dummies like me! What can I tell about a book in 19th edition? Excellent organization, very useful information, great writing style.

a must have for VW owners Great book with some great tips... if you own and old VW its a must have for your collection.
