Default looking for best maintenance, mechanic book, site etc. ??

With my vw's, it's bentley, with the landrover it's the rave cd's. with my 914, its the old haynes style book. what is the best source for maintenance literature or cd, or website for the 928?? I apologize to those who are going to say try doing a better search. But I really have not had a definitive answer from my searches. All help appreciated.
thanks
tim

okay. I just saw the pet 7.1 post, so to let everyone know I am not an idiot, my problem is I am in myrtle beach and will have to wait to get home to see all it entails because the internet is so slow. I did see it might be 32v oriented.. ??

Then download the workshop manuals here:

http://www.cannell.co.uk/Manuals.htm

And learn how search works here.

Then you're off

PET is the Porsche parts catalogue - not a maintenance manual.

The Work Shop Manuals are a must-have. Also, the site http://www.autoatlanta.com features an online parts catalogue for any MY 928 with illustrations. It is a great reference when you're a little unsure of what you're looking at, or when you've broken something with no obvious part number.

Workshop manuals are nice, but might as well make this your home page, this forum is where you find out what to do, and the fine points of doing it.

At one point there was a Chilton manual. Total junk. The factory WSM (as shown is link above) is what you want. That and this forum.

I've used Greg Nichols' site hundreds of times over the past 12 years. I like it because the categories are by problem area. I.e, "car won't start when warm", "fuel pump makes buzzing noise", "my wife complains about how much time I spend on the car", etc.
