Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

You can buy a workshop manual through your dealer, AFAIK. They are normally about 60-80 quid each though, so you have to be keen. Removing the plugs can be a bitch, as Pete (verysideways) found out, so think carefully before you decide to fiddle yourself. With servicing from 20 GBP per hour upwards, it is sometimes worth scraping someone else's knuckles... Rgds Domster

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Domster, I might just invest. I'm actually a great fan of letting others scrape their knuckles in my stead, at least when I can afford it. All I actually wanted to do was to tighten my fan belt as its screaming a lot because of the cold/wet. You know if this is a simple job ? I worry incase this is a sign of something else though....

POST 3Original post

This may affect cooling, so please get it seen to ASAP or speak to someone who knows. Don't want to overheat a 993, as it gets expensive. ATB Domster

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm not exazctly what you'd call familiar with car maintenance so I'm after some sort of Haynes maual for my 993. Enough info so I can have some help doing the trvial stuff myself; diagrams, pictures, tools required etc. Anyone know of nay good ones ? I've checked on the Haynes site and they only offer a manual for the pre 89 models. Amazon suggests lots of books but doesn't have much detail on any of them. Cheers
