Water-Cooled Volkswagen Performance Handbook

Introduced in 1974, Volkswagen's water-cooled four- and six-cylinder engines have seen duty in the Rabbit, Golf, Scirroco, Jetta, Passat and Corrado.

The huge aftermarket that has arisen from the wake of this quarter-century of production, proves that it's possible to wring a surprising amount of performance from these robust engines.

This updated edition includes information on the parts that have been introduced in the interim ten years, as well as the new engines, body styles and modifications now at hand.

A sprawling gallery of 500 black-and-white photographs provides views of the engines, parts and modifications described.
