They are two separate manual like for other MY's. Originally I scanned them together side by side for myself to use single printed copy in cars. Both of mine are German version and dash is in German language unless I change it to English and this its easy to check from printed copy what German language messages mean etc. I think I still have original scanned pics as pic files. If you want to cut English part of the pictures to new files for English only PDF manual I can send them to you. Files are big though.

It was a crc error, so just a hiccup somewhere - thanks again!

I didn't have time to look at the files before posting. So would you say this is a RoW manual in English? or just a standard US manual?

Its definitelly different than US version. Its probably generic ROW version in English language. I would expect RHD English language countries like UK to have slightly different version. Manual is from S4 originally sold in Finland.

'92 GTS English language manual is UK version as there is mention of non airbag dash etc. This was done with additional sticker so its possible Porsche did only one ROW English version for GTS or leaving passenger bag out was desided so late that manuals had already been printed. I think I have better quality 20mb version of this German & English manual somewhere if someone wants it.

There is also separate supplement for '89 GT. Actual manual was normal '89 S4 version which do not have any mention of GT as it didn't exist at priting time in summer 1988. Anyone have one of those and scanner available?

Which manual US model GTS with option M718 got? Does it say '92 or '93 MY for early '93 MY cars? Does it say '93 or '94 MY for early '94 MY cars?

Jim, it's OK, having picked it up from another site you couldn't know its origins. I put it out there for the good of the community. If someone out there has it on their site and is claiming it's their work that's not cool but I have no issues with folks wanting to link to it or download for their own personal archive. I also think it's great that Andrew is trying to pull them all into one place, I applaud the effort.

Interesting bit of info in ROW '86 S manual:
"The top speed of vehicles which have no spoiler is 5 km/h (3 m.p.h.) lower."

M470 spoiler delete option obviously changes cd and thus also top speed.

Hi,

Is it just me or isn't the mediafire-link working any more?

Regards

Andrew, I have 1983S German-only language version.
Also 1984 EuroS in English from Jadz928's car.

Will try to scan them sometime this week.

Edit: No, Mediafire-link isn't working for me, either. Perhaps Jim Moorehouse can advise via PM.
