As a new VW tech having trouble grasping wiring diagrams, this video is so incredibly helpful. VW gives you a 100 page booklet and asks you to take a test, quite difficult for me to retain info that way. Thank you so much!

Brilliant! This is a much more intuitive way to track power flow through a circuit. Traditional diagrams have me going round like a maze.

I love the subtle sense of humor you guys have! Thanks for the laugh!

Man, I needed this video about a decade ago when a vw came into the shop.

Many thanks for uploading this excellent tutorial to Youtube! It's really helpful, I'm trying to solve some electrical problems in my "new" '73 Beetle.

[deusvult]

Excellent! Thanks a lot for this essential information.

I so wish that I had this info when I did my motor swap 2 years ago. I had to figure out (most) of it on my own
Thanks guys

[borderline]

Wow very clear and informative video, This helped me a lot, thanks!

[PeterGalloway-pgek]

The light has been switched on! No more wondering.

Aha ha ha ha, what's a 'hick'?

Good tutorial here. I've used VW electric schematics for a number of years now and have managed to work my way round them. I didn't know about the male/female terminals highlighted by the little symbols, so thanks for sharing this.
