Porsche 944: Automotive Repair Manual

The book was exactly what I ordered, shipped quickly, arrived in good time, in good shape. Thank you once again for such prompt, satisfactory service.

Good for the money

Not too expensive and it's good for the small jobs that would need a little help with. Good for head gasket's deffinitly since they are a [...] load harder to do alone without a book. This is also handy since I have a tight budget and need to save money. It does tend to tell you to go to a porsche dealer on harder tasks alot. So overall this is not ment for the complete overhaul but most of the small annoy and expensive stuff. A head gasket job alone can cost you $600. While if you buy the head gasket for $[...] and then do it yourself with a $[...] book. You just saved a big amount of money and time since you dont need to leave your car at the shop. Recommended for people who need assistence deffinitly.

Helpful with lots of pictures

For $15 this book is an excellent help with lots of pictures for most (but not all) the jobs you'll have to do on your 944. It's based on an early (pre 85.5) n/a 944 so some things have obviously changed on later cars, but for my 84 it is a perfect companion to helpful places such as clarks-garage.com. I highly recommend it for any 944 home mechanics.

Not bad for the Beginner

I bought an '85 944 and it was my first Porsche. The information on basic tune-up and simple jobs was excellent but it advised too much stuff to be done by a dealer. Also, some areas were a little hard to follow, but pictures were helpful.

Require more technical/mechanical information

I have heard several comments regarding the Haynes Manual, I have yet to read it, simply put, I have used Haynes in the past, only to find then useless. I would like very much to find a full Chilton's Repair Manual or a factory Porsche Manual(or copy thereof). I own a 1987 944 Turbo, anyone with information regarding this auto may Email myself at - thedragonrules@hotmail.com - I live in Calgary, Canada. Information regarding these cars seems to be scarce. Any and all info will be gratefully accepted. Thank-you. Enjoy your Porsche. P.s. I gave the Haynes Manual a five star rating in hopes of attracting some attention to this request, if you have read this far, I have accomplished part of my goal. Thanks again guys, take care.
