The bad news is that it does not show parts replaced by another part number.

I happily paid the $500 and change Porsche wanted and considered it a good value for the volume of information.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

What kind of repairs will the manual cover? Almost everything or is it just a few standard procedures? Can someone who already owns it tell me more please?

it's an Adobe file download; you pay the printing costs.
as i mentioned, it is a little sparse on details. See my thread on removing the steering wheel Airbag.
for $20 it was more than worth it imo.
I'm not sure of the content and/or quality, but found this seller of porsche manuals on CD while on a BMW site.
He sent me an email stating;
"We can provide you with the following factory issued literature pertaining to a 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (996). Workshop Manual + Diagnostic Manual on 2 CD-roms $ 185.00 postpaid"
His moniker is
(e-mail address deleted)
anyone heard of him? and/or the quality
It seems fairly authentic and complete. Don't know if the supplements have already been incorporated, though. Certain;y well worth it for $20.00. If it's unauthorized, I've now participated in fraud. You sure it's unauthorized? I paid through PayPal to get the instant download, which gave it some credibility as to legitimacy.
Not sure that Paypal buys you any legitimacy. It's easy to set yourself up to accept Paypal. Your only recourse if you feel guilty once you have the manual in hand is to go to the legitimate source and pay for it.
I don't feel THAT guilty. More like, ooops, I made mistake. Not ready to fork over several hundred bucks or more. Anyway, I'm still not convinced it's fraudulent. If I get convinced it is, I'll give an additional $20 to charity.
Well... the only ones you're ripping off are Porsche... since it's their manual.
I too ordered one of the UK workshop manuals... for $20, it rocks. But yes, I'm quite certian Porsche would not authorize them to reprint the manual (either physically or electronically), and therefore it would be in violation of copyright law (at least here in the US - unless the UK law differs greatly, I would assume this is illegal there as well).
Am I worred about being caught? Not really.
Do I feel bad for Porsche? Absolutely not.
Years ago, when I had my 944, I purchased a full set of shop manuals for that car - it was awesome. I happily paid the $500 and change Porsche wanted and considered it a good value for the volume of information. I sold the manuals with the car.
When I got my 996, I was ready to pop for the 996 manuals... I hummed a hawwed a bit, thinking, "oh, maybe I'll wait until the warranty expires" (obviously I'm not going to be doing an engine or trans replacement when the car is in warranty and although the manuals would be nice to have, I figured I'd wait).
Then the bastards raised the price to $2k for the manuals.
Now, can someone tell me, why on earth did they do this? They must realize that at a $2k price point they have now priced the manuals out of reach of most home mechanics. They must also realize this does not follow simple economics - how many manuals can they sell at $500-$600 a pop? How many at $2000?
How many of us would gladly part with $500 for a good set of manuals?
What about $2000... any takers?
That's what I thought.
I can only see this as a move by PCNA to blackmail more owners out of being able to do their own repairs and having to rely on the dealer for that work.
I've worked on all my Porsches.. I enjoy tinkering in the garage - it's as much fun as driving the thing. I'm on my fourth Porsche, so you could say I'm loyal to the marquee... but $2k workshop manuals **** me off.
PCNA, if you're reading this, do you mind telling us, why? If the manuals were reasonably priced, you'd have my $500 - $600
tomorrow

But $2k? **** off....

manuals will work fine.

HAH!!! It's the boogeyman going after unauthorized downloads!!
Seriously, though, I just downloaded everything and installed everything to a DVD writer then burned a DVD. Works fine.
That is not a PET dealer CD. It is a snapshot view of the PET parts list in Adobe Acrobat on a CD. The bad news is that it does not show parts replaced by another part number. Still it is better than nothing.
