Default A good-old shop manual?...

New to Porsche. Dumb question, but does Porsche make any available to owners shop materials? Some stuff I want to fix myself, but I have zero documentation other than the owners manual that tells me how to turn off the headlights...

I have a 2015 Carrera 4s...

Thanks for info or for pointing me in the right direction...

Unfortunately I think you quest is going to be a very difficult one. It seems to me that the Porsche executives expect us to just drive the he{! out of the car and the factory trained mechanics will take care of the rest.

However I will watch this thread with great hope since I haven't found much in the way of a shop manual starting with my 2006 CS

Look into Porsche PIWIS TSI. You setup an account then can download info. You have to pay for it but the best way that I found is purchase an hour or so and download as much as you can on the info that your looking for.

May have to use the following link.

Ok, so not a "good-old" book, but for more about PIWIS TSI:

And by the way -- PIWIS TSI includes Work Manuals and other archived bulletins, etc. for EVERY Porsche model as far back as I can tell.... Check it out.

And for more DIY videos in general: 991.1 DIY

Happy Motoring!

I've spent some time searching for a manual too. I found an online site and pdf options. Has anyone tried Alldata online? Is it any good?
