Description: Technical Manual Porsche 911 Type 996 When Porsche presented the first water-cooled 911, the 996, in 1997, the new model generation polarized the fan base of the Zuffenhausen cult sports car. The "cast-iron" fans, i.e. the supporters of the proven, air-cooled engine, met the progress-oriented new car buyers who appreciated the advantages of water cooling with great skepticism. Porsche relied solely on its racing experience with water-cooled engines and their successful track record. Given the fact that the previous engine concept had reached its limits in terms of performance and emissions, new approaches had to be taken on the design side. After all, over 175,000 buyers were enthusiastic about the modern, high-performance sports car, which met the strictest environmental regulations and at the same time remained true to the old Porsche virtues such as rear engine and unique design. Today, all reservations have largely been eliminated and the models of the 996 series are already maturing into classics; with consequences for potential buyers: well-maintained examples change hands at top prices. In this guide for all enthusiastic 911 owners and lovers, Porsche expert Adrian Streather describes the history and technology of the 996, produced from model year 1998 (W program) to 2005 (5 program). The successful author explains the areas of engine and engine management, transmission and drive, brakes and ABS unit, body and electronic systems as well as interior and controls in a compact and clear manner. The structure and technical functions of the assembly-specific components are documented in detail and selected maintenance work and tuning measures are described in an easy-to-understand manner and with extensive illustrations. A complete list of readable error codes provides a quick overview of possible causes of malfunctions. Detailed buying advice for the coupé, targa and convertible versions as well as a list of the M and I options offered at the time round off this indispensable companion for every 996 driver.
