The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

This manual is built around the 1986 Porsche 944 specifically, matched to this year's trims so the fuel system procedures, torque values, and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Porsche actually published for this car, not a generalized 944-era reference.

Trims

  • Base Coupe 2-Door
  • Turbo Coupe 2-Door

Known issues on the 1986 944. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both involve the fuel delivery system. The first covers the high-pressure fuel line hose between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator: the hose material is prone to hardening, which can cause fuel leaks at the metal pipe fittings that ignite on the hot exhaust system and start an engine compartment fire. The second covers the return fuel hose running between the pressure regulator and fuel return pipe: its protective sleeve was shortened, leaving part of the hose exposed to engine bay heat, where it can kink, restrict, and be damaged, again leading to fuel leakage and a possible engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the fuel rail, pressure regulator, and fuel hose routing are here.

Whether you're inspecting fuel line routing after a heat-cycle inspection or working through a full service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1986 944.
