When I need this information for a particular repair, I will certainly contact someone that has actual access to the real service manual.

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.

A Google search suggested I look at Rennlist, and I wondered why I didn't think of that first. Anyway, here goes.
My 2003 996 Cabriolet arrived without an owners manual. The dealer that sold me it didn't have one. Where would I find one? Used is fine. I would like this book to read about some of the features the car has, how they operate, recommended maintenance and what ever else is in them.
Also, I ordered and received a complete service manual for this car online (PDF version). The file was corrupt and wouldn't work properly and the seller said that his file was corrupt as well. Here is the
source
of the one I bought that was corrupt. Does anyone have ideas of anohter place I could get this? It seems like it would be very handy. The one I received is viewable, but not accessible through the index, requiring scrolling through from beginning to end.
Thanks.
Your dealership should be able to order one for you without a problem. They're still available from Porsche. But, if you hurry, you still have 2 hours to bid on this brand new set on eBay:

Looks correct for the 2003 model year.
Thanks,

You can download a MY03 owners manual at RennTech.org (after you join - which is free).
Service manuals are copyrighted material and must be purchased either from Porsche or used from someone that did buy them from Porsche.
If you are interested in DIY tips, tricks and articles check out RennTech.org.
We like to think Rennlist and RennTech.org compliment each other.
I got my user's manual, dealer locator, brochures, quick reference guide, radio manual, leather envelope, etc. from Ebay as a total package. The dealer only sent me a user's guide. (2001 cab)
Thanks for all the advice. I will keep my eyes on eBay and speak with our local dealer. I like the idea of getting the total package on eBay. There is no rush, but it would be nice to have for review. I will get the PDF manual from renntech.org as well.
Have a nice week.
I had the same problem and just ordered a NEW owner's manual from Sunset Imports for $27.

Don't buy on ebay - they're overpriced...
The service manuals are Porsche part number WKD-483-721. It covers all 996 C2, C4 and GT3. They currently cost $2091 according to Sunset Porsche. I have a set (14 volumes) that have all of the supplements as of the '02 model year, if anyone is interested in buying.
It appears that most, if not all, of these pirated PDF service manuals must have come from the same source. I have seen discs from several different vendors, all of which have the identical pages corrupted.
There are some versions out there, however, in which the index has been repaired so that it functions properly.
The bottom line, though, is that someone scanned these hundreds of pages in order to, in effect, market a product that does not belong to them. It may even be a legal threat to Rennlist and similar sites for such links to be placed here.
But, then, I'm definitely not a lawyer, nor did I sleep anywhere but my own bed last night.
You can download the service information (at a cost of US $110 per section) from
Porsche Technical Service Information
. Parts catalogue downloads are free on that site.
Thanks for the input. When I need this information for a particular repair, I will certainly contact someone that has actual access to the real service manual. No where on the site I ordered from was it mentioned that the copy was not legitimate, and I was new enough to not be suspicious. I became suspicious of them once the information arriced corrupted.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
