Maintenance

This book gives excellent details and descriptions on performing repairs, maintenance, and also has excellent safety, tool, and replacement part information to help the new mechanic famaliarize themself with the tricks of the trade. Excellent for young & old, and beginner & experienced owners. Also has handy conversion table. Be aware though, this book does NOT cover the VR6 engine! It's ONLY applicable to the 1.8T (Turbo 4-Cyl.), 1.9L TDI (Turbo Direct Injection Diesel 4-Cyl.), and the 2.0L (4-Cyl.), and NOT the 2.8L Narrow-Angle V6 engine. For those with a Jetta, this means it will not cover you for repairs on the engine in your GLX or GLS VR6. It is otherwise (even if you have a V6, the rest still applies) helpful for anything you could need really. I might recomend checking out the Chiltons, though their descriptions/directions can be kind of vague and hard to follow. Superb layout (fairly easy to find your way around), and excellent for routine, preventative maintenance if you want to keep your VW running smooth (and avoid costly repairs later on due to neglect).

Please ignore my previous comments. They were ment for a book of a similar name. My apologies to the author.

While most works on non-fiction in this genre are dry to the point of being utilitarian this book, the best of the now five edition legacy from Intertec, captures all of the excitement and energy often lost in lesser works. In sooth, this book is comprehensive, informative, and well illustrated. But, the reader is never forced to pay a price for bounty of knowledge that is imparted as each page is turned to reveal the next nugget of truth.

Throughout this book the quite yet faithful purr of the authors mind is evident as an intricate web of adjustments, refinements, and balances are brought to bear on a story of failure, realization, and renewal. If you thought you may have to scrap your hopes of finding a book that could revive the most rusty of human conditions you will rejoice in the promise of this well groomed masterpiece: Walk-Behind Lawn Mower : Service Manual the 5th edition.

The only book of it's kind ever. I appreciate the time and effort that went into this book. There is no other place to find the information contained in it's pages. Thank you John Hege for your time and effort.

This is the best book I have ever seen for the "weekend mechanic". Whether you are just starting out or are looking for a reference book as a refresher, "The Weekend Mechanic's Handbook" will serve you well. The excellent illustrations (photos and diagrams) of various model cars make it easy to extrapolate to your own car. This book covers everything from the very basics of how a car works and what type of tools you need, to minor maintenance (i.e oil change), to more in-depth repairs (i.e. brakes, coolant system, A/C). I found this book just in time- it has helped me save hundreds of dollars in mechanic labor costs. Definitely worth ordering!

This book is accurate and on the money. Its about time someone says it outloud for the public to hear. This is a book that any school administrator or automotive repair employer should read. It also provides useful information for the average car owner.

If you're a homeowner with basic carpentry skills you will be able to add, replace, or repair nearly any kind of window or skylight if you have this book close at hand. Beginning with general design and layout suggestions and principles, the book moves swiftly to the nuts and bolts of the work itself. The text is simple and concise, the illustrations clear and well-captioned, with extensive nomenclature notations so you can speak with accuracy and authority in hardware stores and lumber yards. I just finished installing a replacement window in a very tricky location and I found that every obstacle I encountered was dealt with in this slim but information-packed volume. In addition to the useful "Ask a Pro" sidebars, there's a strong focus on safety, from the correct use of power tools to the safe handling of glass to the vitally important setting up a ladder. This manual is so clear that you'll be able to tell right away if a job is more than you can handle, but if you do have the basic skills, the confidence to try something new, and the ability to follow clear, concise explanations then this book will guide you to success. Working on windows can be tricky and frustrating, but it's enormously rewarding. If you're up for the challenge, this is definitely the book to have.
