This manual has been prepared with the Volkswagen owner in mind. 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 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. (Cars of each Model Year are usually introduced in August of the preceding year.) Throughout this Manual, the Fastback is usually referred to as the Type 3 Sedan. 424 pages, 764 illus/diagrams, 9 pages of electrical wiring diagrams, most in full colour.
