Porsche workshop manuals are not free.

You can buy manuals in sections from PIWIS TSI. PWIS TSI = Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System - Technical Service Information

I would not buy any 2009 model manuals yet because they are still writing them and what you buy will likely be incomplete. It usually takes Porsche about 1 year to deliver a completed manual.

And, no you do not get to download the completed version free after updates - you have to buy it again.

Hi Loren,

I was at an independant workshop the other day and he has a PIWIS. They let me navigate through it for a few minutes. Of course, I did not want to ask too many questions, cos I did not want to impose. However, I could not find where to locate the electronic workshop manuals that I had thought are loaded into PIWIS.

The left bar was a Menu which read:

DIAGNOSTICS

WIRING DIAGRAMS

FAULT FINDING

INFORMATION

XX - can't remember

YY - can't remember

When touching INFORMATION on the touchsreen, the drop menu showed

What's new

Information

Help

Log - something - can't remember.

To cut the story short, basically, I could not find the workshop manuals under INFORMATION.

Was I looking at the wrong menu?

The manuals/troubleshooting is only available for the newer cars - some came with the 9x7-1 series and much more in the 9x7-2 series.

So the older cars (9x6 series) do not have any additional information in PIWIS. Technically when you access a px6 series car in PIWIS it loads the older PST2 program for diagnosis.

I see, that makes sense. Older cars fall back on the PST2 "emulation".

So, in order to access the workshop repair manuals for, say, a 997, in PIWIS, how would you navigate to it in the program?

I think that if you go to Information>Information it will load the PIWIS browser, and if you look in Favourites (the star icon) there is a link to the Porsche Network. If the PIWIS has an active Internet connection, I believe you can access the manuals from there, presumably via PIWIS TSI as Loren mentioned in a previous post.

But I think access depends on whether the "owner" has bought that particular "module"? Or are all the manuals available through this mode?
