I cant remember where I got that from. Off the web somewhere a few years ago.
I dont have any others or the book. Maybe if I ever get my oval out of its cocoon I might need to buy it.

Its a superb book.

One of the on my list of "things to do"is to scan the book and make it a pdf so I can print out single sheets and get them oily instead of the book - could also search it as well.

It makes interesting listening. John goes through all the typical engine noises of a Volkswagen.

Good engine rattlie tappets loose exhaust noisy wheel bearing etc etc

Get the book anyone who doesn't have it:thumb

It's the classic VW manual, a must have.

I always get it out when I'm looking something up

So does Muir make the engine sounds himself or are they recorded sounds????🙂

OK, I know I ask some dumb questions, and this is one of them😀

So what sounds are you after Rob????

Dave has given you two options:o

Hey, I've been told I snore but no one provides me with the tape evidence😀

Maybe we could do a compilation CD:rudolf

The book (read BIBLE) is the most simplest car manual ever made! With NO experience on VW I felt confident enough to unbolt, drop and reinsert the motor of my buggy with my bible at my side, under the car. Any good VW repair shop should be selling it, I got mine from a dodgy looking VW repairer here in ACT.
