workshop manual 996

[fazzyb]

can anyone point me in the right direction into getting a paper or electronic form?

The factory workshop manual may be ordered from any dealership. The part number for the 996 is WKD 484 021. It is currently at supplement 47.

There are two down sides. One is the cost. The other is the time to bring a new manual current. The base manual is sent, along with all the supplements. Plan on MANY MANY hours adding and removing pages, in some cases many times, to bring the manual current. Also, plan on detective work to determine the correct steps when the supplement instructions have errors.

The plus side is that future supplements are $10 each, making it cost effective to keep the manual current.

The correct part number and supplement level for the Carrera (996) Service Manual is:

Carrera (1999 on) -- Workshop Manual -- 94 supplements -- 17 volumes -- WKD-483-721

Thanks Loren, I was looking at the turbo. You're right, as usual (always).

Anyone have a source for current supplements? My source has been unable to come up with any after 79. They keep telling me they can't get them from PCNA.

Sunset Imports in Oregon has all of mine except one (supp 87) we are waiting for.

PCNA has dropped the ball, with a resounding THUD, on the issue of supplements. What should be a straightforward process is instead a major ordeal. It takes repeated contacts to obtain these supplements. They randomly skip a supplement, which then takes FOREVER to obtain. All of the later supplements must then wait for the missing one(s) to arrive, prior to inserting into the manuals.

Instead, PCNA should establish a subscription service. Mail 'em out and charge the credit card. DONE.
