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.

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

Not just a Book - Its "The New Bible!"
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.
