I'm looking for a set of service manuals for my recently aquired '06 C2S.

I've come across PorschePower@PlasticExperts.com offering a .pdf version of the manuals.

Has anyone purchased a manual set through them?

Are there other lower cost alternatives out there besides the dealer?

 

ebay.

here's one for a 05 C2/S so it should be very close or identical to your 2006:

or i'll bet some kind soul on this board had a leftover set from his previous wheels...

 

I know that this isn't the answer that you are looking for, but here is a link for the 996.

I've used it many times for work that I was doing on my '06 997.
One day I hope they post the 997 links.

Also here is a link for parts:

get from dealers / cost 39.99 , i just got my at steven creek porsche / model is 07.

 

The link to the auction you posted is not for a service manual. It is a small manual that gives some basic service information, statistics on the car, some technical specifications...but it is not a service manual.

 

I ordered a CD copy of the 997.1 service manual from PorschePower@PlasticExperts.com

I am highly impressed with what they sent me and the speed with which it arrived.

If you are in need of a service manual then e-mail these guys and they will hook you up.

 

Would you mind sharing the price?

 

It was $64.99 shipped. When I e-mailed them I got an auto-reply about pricing for a 944 service manual. I sent them another e-mail with "997.1 Service Manual" in the title and they replied with instructions on how to send payment through PayPal. I figured there was a better than even chance that I would never see anything for my payment...but four days later the CD showed up and I've got to say that I am impressed.

I'm a brand new P-car owner (long time wrench) and this manual covers any maintenance or repair job that I can see myself involved in. It covers many jobs that hopefully I'll never witness.

If you are technically minded then this is money well spent.

 

hmm sounds like a good deal!

 

Well...I tried sending them an email....with subject line just as you described....but allI keep getting is the same chatter about 944 manuals.

Anyone got these folks to respond to a request for 997.1 manuals??

 

Yes, I got mine from them. Quick and easy!!!

 

If you spend 10 min, on the net you can find anything "gratis"

 

Is it maybe a Florida thing to get a response? Attempts only yield the autoresponder text which is non-helpful.

krysFly - guess your search terms are better than mine... I'm willing to pony up some cash for durable goods.

 

I bought mine off of eBay.

 

Hey akirasan - I got the same thing....after a couple of days, you should get a more detailed email with some sample pages. He doesn't seem to have 997.1 any longer...at least it's not in his list. Strange.
