I haven’t really found any one channel that is the be all end all.
I will say that I really enjoy The EZGZ.
https://m.youtube.com/user/TheEZGZ
He’s a true enthusiast in his garage just like most of us.

Slade is good because he has years of experience, and Heidi and Franny is good (because she errs on the side of caution with a lot of things even though she seems less experienced).

Also, obviously, the samba forums has so much info out there it's ridiculous.

Or pay a small fee and get the Bug Me videos, which are excellent.

Sheet! No, I have not checked these. That’s what I get for being lazy and not using the search function. Thanks for the link!

I tend to hop around a bit. Each site seems to have it's share of old wives tales and personal unproven biases.

I love Mustie1. The only problem is that you start watching his videos, lose yourself, and then hours later the sun is rising and you've ruined your next day, haha.

MikeFN on YouTube has a TON of great stuff. But he also has a ton of content so it takes time to weed through. VW Darren also has some great info on general rebuild practices. His channel has been around forever, so you need to weed through as well. And then there's always 5150mxVW...if you want to see cars pushed around. JK HaHa, I love his channel. EXGZ and Slade are great also. I like Mustie1, but his VW content is seriously lacking lately...WAY too many will it runs on small crap equipment

Check out Heidi and Frannie’s Garage. Frannie explains and shows procedures in an easy to understand way.

Here’s a good example.
