Talking Porsche Service Bulletins for 928

Hi Porsche folks,
Can anyone tell me, where I can get/buy a set of Porsche Service Bulletin?
I have the original Shop Manual (in German) - Reparaturleitfaden - this include yellow pages with an index of the pages:
" Übersicht der bisher veröffentlichten informationen im Handbuck Technik ab 1985" ("Index over distributed Servise Bulletins since 1985")
Not important, if it is in German or English
Regards from Erik in Denmark

The Porsche Parts & Technical Reference Catalog (usa catalog p/n: PNA 000 147 A) contains many of the TSBs. You can get a 'listing' of all of the TSBs at
<a href="http://www.alldata.com/recalls/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.alldata.com/recalls/index.html</a> - and for a fee AllData can give you access to full informayion online.

And, Of course, your local Porsche dealer has all of the TSBs... but whatthey are willing to provide you will probably depend on how much they like you!

Michael, I did a search on my Shark and compared a few of the listings to the Bulletins that I have and they actually matched.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to make that cross reference. Have you ever used the site. Do you actually get a page like the attached?

No, Alldata does not provide a nice formatted sheet like the image of the Porsche paper version that is shown above. The TSB information from Alldata.com looks like this:

---begin partial sample---

Seat Rail - Adjusting For More Leg Room
Group
7

Number
9301

Models
928 All
911 C2/C4/T

Part Identifier
7201

October 28, 1993

Subject:
Adjusting seat rails for more leg room.

ATTENTION: Service Manager / Service Technician

Models Affected:
928 All model years
911 Carrera 2/4
911 Turbo 1991-

Concern:
The seat rails for the above mentioned vehicles can be repositioned to allow for more leg room. The distance the seat is moved compared to the factory selling is 22.5 mm for 911 Carrera 2/4/Turbo and 25 mm for 928 models.



---end partial sample---

It's there (mostly), just not formatted very well. On some bulletins (such as #9501, R134 Retrofit), not all the procedures and present on the Alldata version of the TSB and not all of the photos were completely scanned in. Like Ed R. says, your mileage will vary.

Is the dealer the only source for the actual paper?

Dan,thanks for the post. Actually it is not too bad especially considering few are available anymore. I have the paper copies so if needed I could always post the page.
