Default Bentley repair manual for Cayenne?

I've been searching for a Bentley style repair manual for my 08 gts. Only found a couple of questionable ebay digital manuals. Any recommendations for a repair manual?

I'd strongly suggest an enthusiast AllData subscription. It takes the factory manual and boils it down so you get only the sections that apply directly to YOUR vehicle. The eBay digital ones are PDF files - with 11,000 pages of manual. Porsche found it necessary to repeat verbatim identical procedures for each model Cayenne they made. This means finding specific info in the factory copies frequently takes hours - and it takes minutes using AllData. Google AllData enthusiast or AllData DIY - it should turn up a discount coupon making a years subscription less than $20. Worth every penny. Just renewed mine. AllData is where the multi-manufacturer independent mechanic goes when they need help - so it's laid out to be used quickly and efficiently. I'm sure the Porsche one makes sense when used with the Porsche diagnostic tool.. but the eBay copies - well - I never bring them on a trip, I just have my AllData subscription bookmarked on my travel PC.

All right then, sounds like a plan. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just started a subscription using a coupon that got me 5 years for $29.95. Pretty sweet deal! Much as I've hated many soft manuals this will be very handy on the road.
