Porsche 911 Carrera Service Manual: 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989: Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet

This is a must-buy manual. It has detailed explanations, lots of photos, and very easy to understand.

This manual is excellent, well organized, clear pictures, well illustrated. Along with Pelican Parts forum, and a book called 101 Projects for Your Porsche 911, you can handle many of the common problems found in this great car.

Bought this manual to help me with my '85 Carrera rebuild. It's very comprehensive and the pictures are pretty good to guide you through repairs and restoration.

Don't get me wrong, the book is helpful with my cars but 2 of them are Cabriolets and this book really let me down there. One is a manual top and my 930 slant is a power top and the mechanism's are really intricate and it's a really complicated system, anywhere from the latching motors, the ECU Module to the transmissions and the motors that raise and lower and not one word! Why did they put a Cabriolet on the cover and then not even reference it in the book. The convertibles could have had an entire section devoted to it, I don't understand why. Fortunately for fellow owners on the Pelican forums I discovered a treasure trove of info on how to repair my system and am now very knowledgeable so send me a note if you need help.

Very big book! It has lots of great content, don't let the price scare you! It is well worth the purchase whether you do maintenance yourself or hire it done, this manual has great intro info for the new user looking to understand the car better as well as the guy looking to do an engine rebuild!

I have all of the popular books on the 911 Carrera and this is a must have. The pictures are absolutely clear, which can't be said for all books. I have just read through 30 pages and felt the pictures were so impressive that I put the book down to leave a comment. It is a huge book with a hard cover. Well worth the money and a must have if you are doing your own maintenance.

A very comprehensive, simple and straight forward approach To maintaining your SC. All the basics are covered without risking Complicated interventions that are best left to professionals as they Could turn out dangerous or expensive if went wrong.

This manual is a must for every 1984-1989 Porsche 911 Carrera owner or potential owner. Even if you don't do your own maintenance, it makes you a more informed and effective owner when dealing with your mechanic. Also, you might discover as I did, that there are many things you can do yourself, thus saving time and money -- with the bonus of more fully understanding what a fabulous machine your Carrera is!

Perfect book for an owner of AirCooled 911 of that vintage. Doesn't address all of the nuances between model years but an excellent guide to servicing and repairing these cars. Of all the 911 manuals I have purchased this is by far the best.

Wer an seinem 911er selber schrauben möchte für den ist das Buch ein Muss! Alles wichtige ist klar und Schritt für Schritt beschrieben, mit zahlreichen, gut erkennbaren Abbildungen. Auch Tipps, Tricks und Hinweise auf ggf. notwendiges Spezialwerkzeug fehlen nicht. In Verbindung mit Dempsey's Schrauberhandbuch hat man alles wichtige zusammen. Man muss sich darüber im klaren sein dass man hier ein US-Buch kauft. Man sollte der englischen Sprache schon einigermaßen mächtig sein. Auch bezieht sich das Buch auf die US-Modelle, beim Motor und bei der Elektrik muss man ggf. auf weitere Quellen wie das Ty-Ma-To ausweichen. Aber dennoch gehört das Buch zu meiner Grundausstattung.

非常に解りやすく編集されており、これ1冊あれば十分整備に役立つと思います。 文も簡単に書かれているため、英語に自信がない方でも辞書を使えば何とか理解できると思います。 お任せ整備で出費が嵩むことを考えたら、ＤＩＹの参考書としては結して高くないと思います。

Running a mid 80's 911 for an every day car for a year was a bit mad, and this book was very very good for helping out with some repairs as well as providing an idea of what is involved in larger jobs. I have little knowledge of mechanics, but helped no end with renewing brakes, alternator as well as mini servicing and repairs to interior parts and lights etc. Huge book and a good bedtime read!!

ottimo volume. Manca soltanto come risolvere eventuali perdite di olio dal motore, il che è un problema per il carrera 3.2 abbastanza frequente.
