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.

This VW Type 2 service manual covers Station Wagons, Panel Trucks, Pickup Trucks, Kombis, and Campmobiles for the model years 1968 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:
