Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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.

Porsche built the 2012 911 around four flat-six configurations — the 3.4L H6 (A104), the 3.6L H6 (A102), the 3.8L H6 (A103) and the turbocharged 3.8L H6 — spread across ten Coupe and Convertible trims, and this factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you rather than to an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 3.8L H6 (A103) Gas
  • 3.6L H6 (A102) Gas
  • 3.4L H6 (A104) Gas
  • 3.8L H6 Turbocharged Gas

Trims

  • Carrera GTS Coupe 2-Door
  • Carrera GTS Convertible 2-Door
  • GT3 RS Coupe 2-Door
  • Carrera 4 Convertible 2-Door
  • Carrera Convertible 2-Door
  • Carrera S Coupe 2-Door
  • Carrera 4 Coupe 2-Door
  • Carrera 4S Coupe 2-Door
  • Carrera S Convertible 2-Door
  • Carrera Coupe 2

Known issues on the 2012 911. Federal records list no recalls for the 2012 911, and no owner complaints are logged against the year either. Diagnosis on this car therefore starts from the factory procedures and the specification for its own engine and trim, not from a pattern of reported faults.

Whether the car in the bay is a Carrera 4S Coupe or a GT3 RS, the work is held to the specification Porsche wrote for that engine and trim rather than a generic flat-six figure.

No active recalls The 2012 Porsche 911 has no recalls on file with NHTSA.
