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

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.

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.

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.

The 2004 Boxster ran as a two-door convertible in Base, S and S Special Edition form, with a 2.7L or 3.2L flat-six mounted behind the cabin. Clearances, torque figures and tightening sequences move with the engine and the trim, so the values that matter are the ones tied to this model year and this drivetrain rather than to a neighboring year of the same car.

  • 2.7L H6 Gas
  • 3.2L H6 Gas

Known issues on the 2004 Boxster. Three recalls sit on the federal record for this model year, and every one of them concerns exterior lighting. Porsche's own campaign covers the low-beam headlights: the caps that cover the horizontal adjustment screws are missing, which can allow the headlights to be improperly adjusted, and improperly adjusted headlights may not illuminate the road properly, or cause a glare to oncoming drivers, which can increase the risk of a crash. It reaches 2001-2004 Boxster and Boxster S cars along with the 2004 Boxster 50 JAHRE SPYDER 550, and those vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. The other two are equipment recalls on aftermarket combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies sold for various passenger vehicles — 16,270 assemblies from SaberSport and 42,540 from DOPE, Inc. — which do not contain the required amber side reflectors and likewise fail to conform to Standard No. 108; decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year.

Whether you are re-aiming a low beam after body or lamp work, running down one of the handful of faults owners have actually reported, or working through a scheduled service on the 2.7L or 3.2L flat-six, the procedure and the specification you work to stay Porsche's own for this car.
