The main things I'm looking for are: the emergency operation of the cabriolet top, removal of the wind deflector(for carrying passengers in the backseat), headlight/foglight, and climate control system operation. I realise the engine is different ie varioram and emissions. Thanks again!

 

No doubt. Talk about an infinite profit considering it probably came in the glove compartment of a written off car.

 

I can confirm the 993 owners handbook as supplied with the car is NLA from Porsche

 

Victory Motorcars seems to have a way of sourcing owner's manuals.

Checking today according to my local Porsche dealer parts department there are 93 copies available of the 1996 993 owners' manual at the PA warehouse which can be ordered by any dealership. That would include Sunset. There are currently no 1997 manuals available in the USA. Didn't ask about '95 or '98.

 

Sorry, when I siad NLA from Porsche I meant the factory in Germany, if PCA have stock thats great but they wont be able to reorder

 

Just to clarify. In US it is not PCA but Porsche dealerships that can order them.

 

Yes, but they must get them from PCA? PCA cant get them from Stuttgart anymore so be quick

 

The Porsche Club of America (PCA) does not sell Porsche parts. It is an association.

I think you mean PCNA....

Yes, sorry, PORSCHE CARS, not the car club!

 

The Porsche dealers in NZ say they can no longer get 993 owners manuals from Porsche in Germany. Maybe I should have tried a dealer in the states. In any case, do you reckon that the 97 model year owners manual will be pretty much the same as the 95 model year owners manual?

 

In the end I got the owners manual from a 1996 993 on ebay for $97. Not cheap but it had what I was looking for.

 

All good; a very good guy sent me a copy of his for FREE!!!

 

Hi All,
The most important issue with the owners manual is to get a manual that was printed before the car was built. The owners manual have a print date on them.
Otherwise it is a bit of a give away that it's not the original, owners manual.

 

They are STILL available but only the 1998 versions - I ordered manuals from Sunset about 6 months ago, and Bob confirmed a few days ago that Porsche can only supply these manuals. The rest are NLA. cost was around $40 or so if I remember correctly.

Cheers,

Mike
