Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia Official Service Manual Type 1: 1966-1969

This book features full wiring diagrams (including 6-volt systems), convertible top repair, carburetor rebuilding (30 PICT-1 and 30 PICT-2) and comprehensive year and model specifications and troubleshooting tables. Like the later-model Type 1 manual, this is a comprehensive source for service and repair information.

New Color Wiring Diagrams! The hardcover edition of this book now features an eight page color supplement with reproductions of original full-color Type 1 technical schematics.

Technical features:

  • Full data and instructions for all major repairs on engines, clutches, and transmissions
  • Rebuilding and adjusting the carburetor for maximum economy and reduced exhaust emissions
  • How to rebuild disc and drum brakes for safer stops with older cars
  • Taking the play out of worn front ends and steering gears
  • How to align front and rear wheels for reduced tire wear and lower rolling resistance
  • Troubleshooting, replacing, or repairing every component of the electrical system-with full wiring diagrams for every model
  • Complete specifications and instructions for money-saving tune-ups
  • Spark advance curves that will help you spot fuelwasting, worn-out distributors
  • Do-it-yourself body repairs that help keep older bugs looking new
  • Plus the comprehensive Volkswagen factory tolerances, wear limits, adjustments and tightening torque specifications that you've come to expect from Bentley manuals
