Yes, that link works. Thanks.

FWIW, I came across a deal for AllDataDIY on my favorite deal forum. Here's their post: https://slickdeals.net/f/16146667-al...?src=frontpage

Basically, you can get a 3 year sub for one vehicle, for $50 using their coupon code DIY3YRMATCH

I have this. When I bought it, I got both a download, and a CD. Someone told me that the current offering just includes the download?

But it is the complete factory workshop manual.
I ordered this CD a couple of weeks ago and received it today. Fortunately, I used Paypal. Short story....it is garbage. Yes, there are some 6000+ pages, but no index, no organization and no continuous threads on a given topic.

When a page/topic finally loaded, it was just a portion of what would be needed to complete a service/maintenance function.

Finally, when a page was displayed, it was clear that it had been "lifted" from somewhere else. Poor quality, no complete sections, and gaps everywhere.

Got on Paypal, filled out a complaint and within 15 minutes, had an email notification of the full $32 refund. Sometimes things DO work out. Save some time and aggravation and don't waste your time with this POS.

Default service manual

Hi All,
Here is the link to my Cayman 987 gen1 2005-2008 service manual.

Please tell me if it doesn't work.

Edit: removed my post because it linked to an older parts guide than what is available on Porsche’s site.

Hi Old Man neri, the link you provided is for the Illustrated Part Catalog.
Everybody can download a copy of the official Part Catalog applicable to his own model from Porsche website.
I think that the post is about the maintenance manual which is different.
Thanks anyway to have raised the subject.


Quick Reply: Does anyone have a really good 987 repair manual they can recommend?
