I haven’t really found any one channel that is the be all end all.
I will say that I really enjoy The EZGZ.

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. |

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! |

It's the first sticky at the top of that forum. Hiding in plain sight!

I tend to hop around a bit. Each site seems to have it's share of old wives tales and personal unproven biases. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |

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.
