Das Porsche Boxster 986 / 987 Schrauberhandbuch (1997-2008)

Sie zählen bereits heute zu den kommenden Klassikern: die Porsche Boxster der Baureihen 986 und 987. Gerade deshalb sind gute Pflege und sorgfältige Wartung für den Werterhalt und die Verkehrssicherheit dieser hochwertigen Sportwagen so wichtig.
Auch wenn der Zuffenhausener Mittelmotor-Sportler mit Wasserkühlung und reichlich Elektronik mit komplexer Technik aufwarten kann, sind viele durchzuführende Instandhaltungs- und Optimierungsmassnahmen auch von gut ausgerüsteten Hobby-Schraubern zu bewältigen.

Pages of the book Porsche Boxster 986/987 Schrauberhandbuch (1997-08) (1)

Porsche-Spezialist und Erfolgsautor Wayne R. Dempsey beschreibt in detaillierten Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen die wichtigsten Arbeiten am Motor, Fahrwerk, Getriebe, Karosserie und Elektrik.
Neben üblichen Wartungsarbeiten wie Motor- und Getriebeölwechsel oder Bremsbelagwechsel und grösseren Projekten wie Motordemontage und Kupplungserneuerung erklärt der Autor auch anschaulich, mit welchen Tuningmassnahmen der Boxster-Besitzer noch intensiver das Porsche-Fahrgefühl erleben kann.
Dabei reicht die Palette vom Fahrwerkstuning mit Einbau eines Sportfahrwerks und speziellen Fahrwerksteilen bis hin zum leistungsstarken Motortuning mit Turbolader oder Kompressor.
