Re the repair manual, in 1994 when I purchased my 968, I wanted a set of official workshop manuals, just for my information.
It was impossible to purchase them from Porsche in the UK, as they would not supply them to private individuals.
I purchased a full set from the USA, and the guy at the center (USA spelling) there, said it was illegal to restrict the sale of any written item to any one, there in the States.
And a goodwill measure, he gave me FOC, a handbook with all the torque settings for the vehicle. There was 7 large ring bound books that came in a box.
But just as a cautionary note, these type of manuals are for the serious tech' guys, as they refer to procedures which are well beyond the DIY driver. And a lot of info therein, said refer to the 944 manual.

Should the locking wheel bolts be torqued to the same 160Nm as the normal bolts? I never trust them not to get mangled so asking just in case it's not the answer I'm expecting!

I know that 160nm is the correct torque but I find that a bit high compared to my MB (19" wheels) which was 130nm.worldwidewebs wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 4:04 pm Should the locking wheel bolts be torqued to the same 160Nm as the normal bolts?

You learn something new every day, I'm slightly OCD about my car but that's taking it to another level.SAC1 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:10 am

Anyone with Air Suspension needs to be aware of the correct procedure for disabling the system prior to jacking the car.
The procedure is described in the Manual.
You have a better chance of remembering it if rather than me tell you, you RTFM yourself.
