Tom Wilson's `How to rebuild your Volkswagen aircooled engine' is very good and, IMHO, is a must have for engine work, second only to the Bentley.

I also like Keith Seume's `VW Beetle Performance Handbook', which has some good information on stock components even if you're not interested in the performance upgrades.

A factory original VW Workshop Manual. The Bentley manual is an abridged version of this one. This original is the single best manual you can have. The Bentley is next best.

My personal philosophy about Beetle manuals is to have as many different manuals as you can find as each states things slightly differently, may have slightly different illustrations, and/or slightly different information. I have at least half a dozen different manuals (probably more) and I use them all.

During building our library, I picked up the BugMe Videos... worth every penny of them... priced just right.

If you call them directly (BugMe Videos) they'll cut you a deal on the entire library.
