Welcome, John!
I'm relatively new as well. Where are you from? I'm in CT.

I'd get a good manual, like Bentley's. (you can often get them
inexpensively on ebay).
Strangely enough, you'll find the bentley manual does not have an
index, so here's a link to an index:
http://www.vw-resource.com/bentley1.html

Also look into getting the bugmevideos.com #1 tape on general
maintenance. They have a series of tapes on various bug subjects, some
more advanced. All very nicely done, very clear. Definitely worth the
money.

http://www.superbeetles.com/Tech_talk/jan.htm - some basic and not so
basic things.
(the guy in the pictures is actually Rick, the same guy that makes the
bugme tapes).
http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ is good for troubleshooting things.
http://www.thebugshop.org -- a nice tech section and faq.

Others here will probably have more suggestions because there's a
wealth of stuff out there.

I am sure others here will have suggestions
