Question about 2008 S Owner's Manual
I downloaded an owner's manual before Porsche took down all the owner's manuals for 955s and 957s and I ordered a printed manual (used) from eBay. Neither manual says "2008" (or any other model year) on the book anywhere.
The manual says it is for Cayenne, Cayenne S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, Transsyberia. Was there a 2008 Transsyberia?
There is a lot of info in the owner's manual that is accurate in regards to everything on the dashboard and console, features, tires/wheels, spare, battery, etc.
But what makes me most nervous is that the fuse panel maps in these owner's manuals don't match the fuse blocks in my S. The manual shows fuses in some holes that are empty in mine, while I have some unused sockets where the manual shows a fuse installed. Most of the fuses show the same amp rating that is installed in mine, with maybe 2 differences total for the dash and underhood fuses. The missing or added fuses don't seem to be for things like options I don't have. I specifically recall one of the fuses missing from my vehicle would have disabled something that I know is working fine with that fuse slot empty (though I'd have to look again to see which feature it was).
Anybody know if the correct 2008 manual had "issues" with the fuse diagrams? Does the correct 2008 owner's manual say 2008 on it anywhere?

On my manuals
On my Boxster manual and my Cayenne manual there's some dates on the back side of the cover. It seems to be the previous year the car that you have. I have a 2001 Boxster and a 2005 Cayenne and the manual say 2000 and 2004 on the back cover on some of the manuals.

Not sure how much this helps, but my 05 Owner's Manual (replacement book supplied by the dealer, came from the P/O) has "WKD 948 121 05" (the '05' is bolded in the book) and a date of "4/04" on the first page, inside the front cover.
No other date or indication of what year the book is for that I can find.
