if you're serious you're best off buying a manual. john muir's 'compleat idiot's guide' is good - i did my first service a couple months ago
with this book
there are alot of good sites out there as well, im sure others here will point you out to some
vw resource <--- try here

Yes, You really need to buy some VW manuals for Your car... The late John Muirs book is a good one to start with..
Another really good book is "Volkswagen Beetle - owners handbook & servicing Guide - by Haynes...
the copy I have covers all Beetles up to 1977...
and is in very good condition...
It covers virtually everything You need to know from what to do if a warning lamp lights up- to changing headlamp bulbs- changing the oil, changing
& adjusting the fan belt- tuning the engine - changing the spark plugs etc...
everything You need to know & more....
You can have it for $40 postage paid....

Having some library at hand is nearly mandatory, but you can perhaps do with the information available at http://www.vw-resource.com/routinelinks.html and perhaps http://www.vw-resource.com/tune-up.html.
Have fun. (^^)

Call Kate at PITSTOP Bookshop... She'll be able to post it out for you...
Also I think you have a copper in town that is really into VeeDubs...???
At least, you did when I was there... Go up to the cop shop and ask if he still works there... He'll be able to help...
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
