I have a '79 Volkswagen Rabbit and I'm having a lot of trouble finding an owner's manual. The Volks dealership has one on order but who knows when it'll be in. Does anyone have a owner's manual for that year that I could copy? John Modla 834-4088 ariel!jem

The "best" Volkswagon Rabbit manual available is called :
How to Keep Your Volkwagen Rabbit Alive
A manual for the Complete Idiot
It was written mostly by John Muir and is extremely good. Not only
does it assume the user knows nothing at all about the car ( car? hmmm..
what's that? ), it is written in a very humorous manner. It is filled
with illustrations, drawings, and pictures. The chapters cover the
functional areas of the car and are written in an easy-to-read procedural
fashion, similar to Heathkit assembly manuals. It is definitely worth
your time to get on of these. They cost about $13.00 and can be found
be calling around to various parts delears and VW shops.
The owner's manual, by contrast, is text oriented and has few pictures.
At least, this is the case for the '75 manual.
