Porshce Technical Info

A bit of a public service message here, but would you like a copy of the factory repair manual? The factory parts lists / diagrams? All of the factory information is available directly from the source. Visit Porsche's web site, and go to the Service area.

You can download the parts list / diagrams here. They have every catalog for every model, free to download:

Factory Parts Lists

Here, you can purchase downloads for very reasonable prices, including the factory service manual for your car. A one-year subscription (with unlimited access) costs $5,000, but you can purchase individual documents (the repair manual is an individual document, for example) for only $1.80, and you can even use your credit card. Wiring diagrams for $11. It's electronic and thus saves paper, it's cheaper than a Haynes manual, and it's the real deal. It's pretty nice:

Just some FYI...

The Factory Parts that you can download are over 1 year old (August 2006).

Please see if you can order something there.
