Unfortunately there is no equivalent to John Muir's excellent book that has
watercooled Vanagon coverage. We sell several repair manuals for them,
however. While the Bentley manual is more complete, if you are a novice
mechanic the Haynes manual is preferable, as it is written more with the
"backyard mechanic" in mind than the professional.  The best bet is to have
both, using the Haynes as a basic reference but referring to the Bentley in
cases where you need more detail.
