the diagrams and part references are more clear and the proceedures for installation and removal of items have greater detailed steps.

WOW, good deal, $100 for all the manuals plus the turbo supplement. Nope, you won't regret spending the money.

It's my observation that most of the photos in Haynes are direct re-prints from the factory manuals. The factory manuals are good at more clearly laying out torque specs (fastener type & size, what the fastener holds and the actual torque value), and have specific notes about removal and installation "gotchas" in tables that accompany the exploded-view diagrams of most assemblies.

The wiring diagrams in the factory manuals are superb.

I have collected just about every Porsche workshop manual in PDF form ( I am missing the 912 ). I just got the 924 Porsche workshop manual set plus the service manuals for the 924 and 924 turbo.

I also have the 2004 PET.

If you are interested let me know.

I was able to pick up all the manuals 2 sets for all years for the 924
and turbo and a parts catalog and the new pet. The manuals are really
great.

Did your purschase include the performance suppliment
that tells you about adding steel brake lines heavier
springs and other performance mods.
The manuals rock. I just need to print it out on paper and put
it together in a binder.
