In preparation for my eventual Speedster ownership I'm interested in learning how to work on these cars, primarily basic engine work like valve adjustments, tune-up, timing, etc. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this type of training, preferably in Northern California but I'm open to a trip to Southern California if there was a weekend course or something like that.
If I can't find anything formal my plan is to find a VW mechanic near me (looks like there's a good one in Vallejo) and see if they'll teach me the basics on my car for a fee.
Of course I've already ordered a book on Amazon- "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot". Sounds like right about my speed.
