Table of Contents

~~~

The following material has been generated though the years as Rob and Dave have "talked" about a very wide variety of Volkswagen-related topics by e-mail. We have tried to edit the material to make it a bit less "conversational," but that effort is on-going.

Also included herein is material gleaned from various VW newsgroup conversations and direct e-mail correspondence with other Volkswagen enthusiasts. Various other VW Websites have been quoted; references are provided for those quotes. The material has been organized into nineteen general topics related to the care and feeding of VW Bugs, as outlined in the Table of Contents below.

Note that each Table of Contents entry is a link directed to the material (usually a procedure) on that topic. In addition, each topic and sub-topic in the entire work have been organized into a comprehensive index, each entry being a link. This enables the reader to go directly to the topic of his or her interest.

After the Introduction, the first of the following 18 topics is "Fuel System," followed by "Ignition System." "Fuel and Spark" are the first questions we always ask regarding our ailing Bugs, as they are the essentials if our car is going to run. Discussion of the Fuel and Ignition systems lays the groundwork for Tune-up, as these topics are very much interrelated. Most of the questions we have received have been regarding general tune-up. The organization of the material beyond that point is a bit more random, but a fairly logical progression.
