Bug Me DVD\'s

Hi I am looking to learn about Beetles and I heard about the Bug Me DVD sets.

Has anyone heard of them?

Seen them?

Are they worth getting for a complete VW rookie?

yeah - heard good things about them on the US forums.

Nothing like jumping in the deep end though.
You seem to have interest and a willing to learn.
That is the main thing.

Think you might have to send over to the States to get them

I have a few, they are excellent for preparing to carry out any job yourself, good investment IMHO :thumb

Thanks for your comments.

Ireckon I really need at leat some sort of guide as I am starting from scratch so to speak.

I remember seeing them on ebay.

Only other option is from the states?

I bought mine in the UK - http://www.bugmevideo.co.uk/

Probably not much difference to you though?

Does anyone have one or more they want to sell?

they are done by Rick Higgins in the USA...

they are called "Bug Me " videos now also available on DVD

check out the Superbeetles forum for info...

the superbeetles forum also has "standard" beetles too

I have them and say they are good but they still lack some details that i would like to know or things that i feel are basic no no's that they don't mention. Things like how to work out your compression ratios and deck height etc. If you are building a basic factory engine and don't care about getting it to be more blue printed than just throw together they are good. Then agian i haven't wathed them all yet.

I woudl suggest watch them in conjunction with a lot of reading and brain picking of others.

Yes You will still need a few workshop / owners manuals

The Bentley manual [VW of America]
Haynes manuals [many to choose from]

the idiot book - John Muirs book is recommended for newcomers ...

check out these books at : http://www.amazon.com

You can buy used manuals from the USA from the amazon site - very inexpensive compared to Aust prices.
just watch the postage charges as manuals are heavy..
