Porsche Dissemble manual

[macmanu]

Hi all,

I am a cayenne diesel 2012 owner.

In the past I had a VW Touareg and the VW group has a tool called ELSAWIN where you can see how to dissemble the car parts.

Do you know if there is something similar in the Porsche world for the 2012 cayenne.

Thanks

Welcome to RennTech! :welcome:

Like most OEM’s, Porsche no longer prints any service manuals, but only makes them available online via subscription. You need to also be aware that Porsche has a reputation for severely protecting what they see as their intellectual property, so be very careful buying pirated versions. Porsche does have an online subscription service that gives you access to their official service system database that is called Porsche PIWIS TSI (http://www.renntech.org/forums/links/goto/18-porsche-piwis-tsi/). They have multiple subscription types (by the page, time based, etc.) which would give you full access to anything you may need now. or in the future. One of its biggest advantages is that they keep it updated, so you get the latest data. Bentley also has a service manual for the VW Touareg, which is a very similar vehicle, but not an exact match.

The 365 Day PIWIS subscription is a bargain, only $6500.00 USD. ;)

That is targeted more at a shop; you can actually buy single pages if that is all you need. In the end, it is legitimate, it is current, and it "comes from the source". Plus, when you think about it, back in the day when the manuals were still in print, you paid $2300 for the 986 set, plus another $1800 for the OBD II diagnostics manual; and that only covered one model car. The online subscription gets you access to anything they have for any model. Perhaps not what a DIY wrench would see as a deal, but it really is not that bad.

You could always lease the PIWIS unit itself for $17+K a year, and get it that way.............. :help:

I have the Cayenne manuals with supplements up thru 2012 in PDF.
