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.

Gmund books (
www.gmundbooks.com
) do a factory workshop manual for the S2/Turbo (1 Vol) for 80GBP. It is also for a 'UK Spec' car - dunno if yours is LHD or not.
However, I think they may do a Haynes manual for the 944. Probably available on amazon or something. Would this be a cheaper and more user friendly solution?

The Haynes does exist for the 944, but only for the eight valve models; and anyway I was told that the workshop manual was definitely more complete.
Actually I am looking for the genuine article.
Thanks Dom
The shortest jokes are the best, I've had enough of your slow-witted comments on my OLD car (yes, don't forget it's 12 years old).
911 drivers do criticize my car very well, I don't need a Tiv owner to do his best at it as well
Hey, lighten up old fella - you've had more than one dig at "my" car - good job the wife's got something decent !!
PS - got the Merc serviced the other day at an MB dealer - and been right royally ripped off as well. They charged me (wait for it) 93 pounds sterling for synthetic oil, comprising of 8 1 litre bottles of Castrol RS.
Needless to say, a strongly worded letter has been written.
Greg,
I have authorised myself to mock you because I KNOW how it is to drive an E-class (my mum has one). I was mocking Flasher because of his Vectra, and now he tries to piss me off with my Porsche: to me that's completely like comparing two things which should not be compared.
On a lighter note, I had a run in my neighbour's 944S at the weekend - very nice I thought, particularly with 115K on the clock. No nasty coloured interior either, just a very tidy motor.
Impressed.
Next is a drive of his 924 Turbo
That's right thom, they shouldn't be compared, no TVR has looked like a TR7 for a few years now
And I don't recall TVR ever using a campervan engine in any of their vehicles!!
Yeah that's right Domster.
I sold it to a pal and he fitted a camper van engine , resprayed it and stuck a Porsche badge on it.....then he took it out to France and sold it to some dopey French student....
Does anyone know where you can get one of those "My Other Car Is A Porsche" stickers? I am so so tempted to stick it in the back of my Tiv as a wind-up (temporarily of course).
Knew a bloke once who had "My Other Car Is Also A Porsche"...
Hello Chaps
I'm looking for the "workshop manual" of the Porsche 944 (all models). Has anyone here any idea on what to do but leaving £1,000 to Porsche to find one?
Any experience welcome of course
