Volkswagen Super Beetle, Beetle and Karmann Ghia Official Service Manual Type 1: 1970-1979
Service to Volkswagen owners is of top priority to the Volkswagen organization and has always included the continuing development and introduction of new and expanded services. In line with this purpose, Volkswagen of America, Inc. has introduced this Volkswagen Official Service Manual. The aim throughout has been simplicity, clarity and completeness, with practical explanations, step-by-step procedures, and accurate specifications.

Though the do-it-yourself Volkswagen owner will find this manual indispensable as a source of the same detailed maintenance and repair information available at an authorized Volkswagen dealer, the Volkswagen owner who has no intention of working on his or her car will find that reading and owning this manual will make it possible to discuss repairs more intelligently with a professional technician.

Every component is covered, from the Super Beetle's strut front suspension-including the modified system introduced in 1974-to rebuilding the front end, even disc brake repair. The 30 PICT-3, 34 PICT-3 and 34 PICT-4 carburetors are described in detail.

This Volkswagen Type 1 service manual covers Beetles, Super Beetles, VW Convertibles and Karmann Ghias for the model years 1970 through 1979. This manual was created specifically to cover models built for sale in the United States and Canada. Here is a sample of the kind of up-to-date information you will find:

• Tune-up and oil change: specifications and procedures for all models, up through the latest 1979 cars
• Troubleshooting, replacing or repairing every component of the electrical system-with complete wiring diagrams
• Troubleshooting and repair of the electronic fuel injection system used on 1975 and later models
• Troubleshooting, repairing and rebuilding the clutch, manual transmission and Automatic Stick Shift
• Rebuilding the carburetor-including the 1974 California-only carburetor
