Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: It's what I expected Don't expect this book to go into intimate detail on all of the topics that it covers; it is mainly about getting you familliar with the 97-2004 models. The book is big and contains good pictures. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about their car. If you just want to learn how to do regular maintenance, grab this. If you want to learn how to do more complex things, like replacing your convertible top, you will need the porsche tech manual. Summary: Porsche Boxster Service Manual Excellent manual. Very detailed. Much better than the Chilton or Haynes manuals that I have on my other cars. Summary: The only, and best manual for your Boxster I've been working on cars since I can remember and can do just about anything, but the mid engine layout of the Boxster has made it a little more challenging. This manual is the best I've ever seen, even better than Chilton's series. It shows clearly how to perform simple (change oil) and complex (change clutch assembly) maintenance, how to access the darn motor, etc. Pictures are clearly labeled, anyone could pick up this book and do most any procedure. Complete electrical diagrams are a nice touch too. Lots of nice extras include full specs, year to year changes, performance specs, part #'s, etc. If you have a Boxster, you know how much they charge for basic maintenance, buy this manual and save yourself a bundle. Put that $$ you saved into some performance parts :) Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: for the serious Porsche 911 3,2 Carrera Owner This book is, in my opinion, invaluable for the owner of the Porsche 911 3,2 Carrera. It covers all aspects of repair step by step and is clearly written with good supporting photographs. Each chapter has a paragraph about faultfinding. In many aspects it goes beyond my abilities as an amateur, but it helps me to tackle the occasional service and repair and to know what my mechanic is doing. Surely the next best book to an original Porsche Workshop Manual. Summary: Good but could be better I've been waiting for this manual for a long time. Bentley's excellent VW manuals have been very high on the quality list for quite some time so I was excited to get this manual. Overall it is a great and is a must for the DIY mechanic who needs to know more about their car and can't afford the factory workshop manuals and I think that for the majority of individuals who won't be dropping engines and trannies this will sufice. My gripes are small. No detail on a lot of misc body stuff. The transmission section mentions both the 915 and later G50 transmissions but only shows how to dismantle and repair the 915. Heater and ventilation information is sparse (as always) at best. I was surprised at how they did keep up with much of the Porsche tech bulletins that have come out during these model years as well as just the overall presentation. Very nice. Ken Summary: Not enough detail This sure beats the orange covered "other" service manual and the $900 factory service manual in price. There are a lot of missing details like where to charge the A/C, rebuilding your Targa top (intricate locking mechanism details missing). Yes it shows breakdown of parts diagrams but some diagrams lack supporting text. This book is BIG and it is well worth the...you spend. A nice thing I read in the beginning was a disclaimer stating that it may have errors or lack of info but the publisher is more than open to accept any ammendments from it's readers and that they were meticulous about providing the MOST ACCURATE data they could find. This is why you SHOULD HAVE this book because WE the people can make it better! It IS a "must-have" book if you are serious about maintaining your own 84-89 911 Carrera. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 1 Reviews: Summary: I would not call it "Useless"....... ...It did a nice job of starting my fireplace one evening when I couldn't find kindling. Seriously, don't waste your money on this one. To be fair, I have used other Haynes Manuals with much success. But even with the supplimental section, this one just doesn't cut it. Summary: Useless I bought this book with the hope I could perform some of the maintainence on my 911. I was not familiar with the 911, but I had done many repairs on previous cars such as a tune up, replacing an alternator, starter, power steering pump, and master cylinder. This book doesn't give enough information to do any of the above. Buy the factory workshop manuals if you want to work on your 911. They are expensive, but worth it. Summary: Disappointing I had always used Haynes Manuals to teach myself basice vehicle maintenance. This manual is an exception to their usual high quality. Summary: |
