What happened to the Porsche Tech Site. One used to be able to download workshop manuals, wiring diagrams and more for about $125 per section. I don't see the manuals anymore and the parts info is over a year old. Can you imagine if the dealers used parts info from 14 months ago?

geoff - that page/site clearly states it is for "authorised companies" and prices are only in Euros - so that implies not US.

Certainly Porsche knows that ceasing to provide this information is a violation of EPA's Service Information Rule - 2003 Final Rule.

Environmental Protection Agency

40 CFR Part 86

Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles and New Motor Vehicle Engines; Final Rule -- dated June 27, 2003

Porsche has been in borderline non-compliance from the start as they were very late to provide this site. And, they also failed to meet the EPA guideline for providing that information at "fair and reasonable charges for access to online service information". For example: Porsche was more than double the recommended long term access of $2500/year.

Does Porsche has something new in mind - or do independent shops and DIY'ers have to file a complaint with the EPA?

Keith, would you PM me regarding the manuals CD?
