Printing Workshop Manual
While waiting for delivery of my first Porsche (03 996TT) I wanted to equip my garage with a full workshop manual. I have seen many different download options throughout the forum but wondered if anyone can confirm which might be the most accurate for the 03 model year. Also, I am tempted to print out the manual as I find it easier to navigate through while working. Has anyone done this and if so did they emulate the breakdown of the books similar to how Porsche does with their OEM manuals? Is there a list of the books somewhere that might help me organize it correctly?
Thanks

For the Turbo manual just one section: "996TT Repair Manual"; has 2099 pages.
There are other sections that have over 1000 pages, nearly 700 pages, and so on.
What I do is I find the section that is of interest to me and print it out on my printer. Also, I save a copy as a PDF and give it a good name so if I require that section again I can just go to it rather than making another PDF.

So the 2099 page turbo manual I downloaded is only one of the multi book workshop manual set?? It sounds like the set the covers all Carreras? Will that one book include all info (wiring diagrams, chassis components, etc...) for the TT or just the items that are unique as compared to the rest of the Carrera line?

The 911 Carrera factory manual is a separate thing. (I won't take the time to list all the details but there are PDFs for "groups" 0 (3 PDFs), 1 (2 PDFs), 2, 3 (2 PDFs), 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-9, plus a wiring PDF.)
(The hardcopy Boxster manual is very similar to the 911 Carrera manual. Lots of folders with Group 0, Group 1, and so on. 64lbs worth.)
