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 911's specifically, but rather the same bosch parts common to all German cars. I ended up throwing this book in the trash.

This is a great manual for 1965 through 1977 911's. The 1978 through 1989 (the SC and Carrera model) cars are given one chapter at the end, so apparently they wrote the book in 1978 and then just tried to update it with the later models.
I guess it's true that you can't judge a book by it's cover!

I actually felt ripped off. The book is advertised as '65-'89, it should be -'85. The system I was looking for wasn't even in the book! It mentions later models as generalizations and too many things are missing for the mentioned years. If you have a pre '85, get it, if not: forget it!

Carrera
This book I don not believe is geared for a 1984-1989 Porsche 911 Carrera as it is more suited and descriptive of the earlier models.

Disappointed in the Manual for the following reasons:

2. It is soft cover

OK
I share the same concerns as the other reviewers. The text is poorly drafted and assumes you know what you are doing - in which case you wouldn't need the book. Read more
