Service Manual for TT Engine

[04TurboCab]

Hi Folks-

I'm new to this forum, and the Porsche world as well. I've been looking for a service manual that covers the Turbo engine in my 2004 911 (996TT). I bought the one Bentley has, but there is nothing about the TT in it. It seems as though it's geared exclusively toward the normally aspirated variety, and it does not appear as though they have one that deals with turbo engines(if they do, I didn't see it listed on their website). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Porsche Cars is absolutely draconian about anyone using their intellectual property. Publishing the link could cause Loren all kinds of problems, up to and including getting “401 URL not found” the next time you click on his website……….

No problem JFP. I fully understand the situation and I am really sorry about that. It won't happen again. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the help. I guess in the future, a non-public PM would be in order so no one runs afoul of any rules, and avoids The Eye of Sauron. :)

That being said, does Porsche actually sell a service manual? I have not been able to find one online through any official source, but I have to confess, I've not actually gotten around to asking the dealership yet. They (Porsche) must realize that there are those of out there who actually enjoy working on and understanding how our machinery functions!

There was a paper version but I think it is sold out. Sometimes it is possible to found it on Ebay but the last one I saw was $750.00.

The last (Porsche) printed and sold service manuals (to my knowledge) were in late 2006. A few copies may be in inventory at a scant few dealers. But most have already sold them off.

Back when the actually sold these manuals, they were both huge (a full service manual set for the 986 Boxster alone was fifteen three ring binders), and expensive (the Boxster set went for $2,300, plus another $1,800 for the extra OBD II diagnostics manual). So while they never made it easy, you could get the data. Post 2005-6 model years, as Loren noted, you could only obtain access to the online electronic versions by subsription, but this was also fairly pricey as well.
