The owners manual has a bunch of information for general stuff but the more in-depth stuff is going to be determined more on condition of the car, miles on the car, previous maint on the car, how the car is stored etc.This --^ x 928.
It's so broad it would be hard to put down in any single post. Besides, we'd have to add to it, edit it, remember to edit it.And thus the problem with the "Article" concept on this board: it becomes a WORM drive. Many reasons why that's not a good idea for inspection/repair/maintenance/FAQ documentation.
Worfs check list is a good reference, hope he gets it posted up and we can use it as a baseline and then have a discussion and share opinions.Lemme see where we're at in terms of new features here...

I know that there are recommended maintenance intervals in the WSM and owners manual, but they're not consolidated and don't include all of the items that a seasoned 928 mechanic might check for.This gets into 'philosophy of service.' At 30-40 years old what constitutes maintenance as opposed to restoration?

If so please submit to this link: https://openroad.site/pages/article-submissions/I don’t like the fact the the “article section” is a WORM drive. Once submitted, authors have no control over their work be it formatting or content.

So if this is a concern then that is certainly something that can be provided. I just assumed most people wouldn't want to be responsible for formatting and some of the complexities associated with creating website content. But yes it can be done!fpena944 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 8:16 pmSo would you all mind if I placed some of these attached PDFs out there? Also do you all have anything else you'd like to upload?

If the notion to edit/revise/correct strikes me, I’d like to be able to do it while the iron is hot without going through a series of hoops.
In addition, what’s the ‘draw’ of the article section over a sticky discussion thread in which folks participate?
Done and done. Link delete and short shifter plea[…]
