986 Service Manual

[terryfly]

I'm a long time Porsche owner with a 75 911 that I restored and still have. Wasn't driving the car in SW FL so relocated it to my summer residence in Northern MI. Car loves it there and I love having it there during the summer months. Only problem was that I missed have a toy car here in FL. Short story I just purchased a 2003 986 for FL and love it. Of course I now want a service manual and my question is which one?? For my 911 I have the full factory set but have not found anything like that yet for the 986. Suggestions are appreciated.

I have an 03 Boxster S. So far the ole Bentley's and the 101 Projects from Pelican cover everything. But I understand, I have a complete set of Factory Manuals for a 944 under the house. I've looked for manuals in the past and only found the Bentley.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting the Bentley manual and so far so good.

Not service manuals (I have a complete set for my 951 as well so I like analog info) but you might try this youtube sight:

718-4Me and Blueline put me on to this guy who has done a series of Boxster videos.
I don't have a Boxster but found his videos entertaining and squirreled the link away for possible future purchase.

I purchased a subscription for Alldatadiy. I can pay on a yearly basis for just one vehicle. Can't compare it with anything else but it has far more information than Bently. I'm using it for my rebuild. Has all the torquing info, diagrams, procedures, recommendation, etc. Has a lot of car info besides the engine. I haven't had a chance to check it all out.
