Description : This kind of Porsche 911: Automotive Repair Manual, 1965 to 1989 - Coupe, Targa & Cabriolet performs excellent, easy to use and also modify. The price for this is much lower compered to other locations My partner and i researches, and never a lot more when compared with equivalent merchendise

This type of thing delivers surpasses own prospect, this place has turned into a wonderfull upgrade on myself, The thought arrived properly and also rapidly Porsche 911: Automotive Repair Manual, 1965 to 1989 - Coupe, Targa & Cabriolet



Haynes disassembles every subject vehicle and documents every step with thorough instructions and clear photos. Haynes repair manuals are used by the pros, but written for the do-it-yourselfer.



Features :
  • Step-by-step procedures
  • Easy-to-follow photographs
  • Based on a complete teardown and rebuild
  • Complete troubleshooting section

Review :
Mostly useless - buy the factory manuals instead
Anyone who thinks they'll be able to completely rebuild a Porsche 911 using this book (as the cover claims) is living in a world of make-believe. As the other reviewers have pointed out, the book glosses over any 911 made after 1977, and doesn't give any instruction on activities that the home mechanic might want to do, such as removing the airbox or changing the sparkplugs or filters. If you're serious about working on your 911, pony up the cash and buy the factory manuals. They're expensive, but worth the price you pay for them, especially if you factor in the money you're saving on labor costs. The Haynes manual is seriously out-of-date and useful only as an occasional reference.

Disappointing
I had always used Haynes Manuals to teach myself basice vehicle maintenance. This manual is an exception to their usual high quality.

Very misleading.
This would be a great book for anyone who is interested in actually rebuilding the alternater on a porsche 911 but is not the least bit interested in removing the said alternater. Same thing goes for the starter and everything else I needed the book for. I was sort of planning on taking the starter/alternater to a starter/alternater repair shop to have them rebuilt. The book spent three pages on exploded diagrams showing the inner workings of a starter and not even one photo of how to remove it. I've got news for most of you, unless you live in Stuttgart, there aren't many local starter shops that will work on a porsche 911....but once removed they're just simple bosche and motorolla parts and basically any shop will rebuild them for $30-$40. Everything i looked up was the same way...absolutely no photos of dissasembly...maybe that's on pupose...but I know for a fact I didn't purchase a book on rebuilding appliances this book has practically nothing to do with Porsche...

Review :
Haynes Repair Manual for a Ford Escape
Why does this company have to publish these auto repair volumes on paper little better then toilet tissue? The information is fair to good, but with the poor quality paper, the photographs are almost useless for ready reference. $15- $17 is an OK price, just don't pay the list of $25. My rating would be 2.5 (50-50) if allowed.

Some Misses
Over the years, I've previously purchased Haynes manuals for Toyota's, Dodge's, Saturn's, VW's and now Mazda. This Mazda manual similarly has some areas that are simply overlooked and / or leave you guessing. Do not expect the Haynes manuals to be a "How To" for all aspects. To be fair, I don't believe any one manual does that. To cover all areas, you may need manuals from several authors. If you want "One Stop Advice", the online services may meet your needs.
In any route, don't forget to talk with the folks at the parts shop.
I use Haynes as one tool in the tool box. One point of reference.
Don't be fooled by the Haynes subtitle "... a complete tear down and rebuild". Although they may have done that, it is not all documented in this book.
I am a weekend warrior - some tasks I leave to the pros and use the Haynes book only to 'self educate myself' prior to making an appointment with the Shop. Other tasks I use Haynes and other sources to execute.

NOTE: HAYNES & CHILTON Repair Manual for FORD ESCAPE are the same
I ordered both the Haynes & Chilton repair manual for Ford Escape and I noticed they were written by the same author. The contents are exactly identical to each other. The Chilton version however have more information and has a few more pages than Haynes. I need to return one of them.
