Hi, I would like to know the best way to, complete the service history of my 2003 996 Turbo, I have all the invoices for servicing & work done from 2008 to present but no service manual as previous owner lost it.
1. How do i get a new service book
2. How can i verify first five years of history & owners

thanks Ken

 
I'd suggest the obvious starting point is the OPC with the original number plate details (in case its wearing a private plate now) or use the VIN details off the car itself - I'd anticipate a turbo would probably have been serviced at OPC network dealers across the early years of its life, and their computers all use a central database. I'd expect they should be able to do at least a rudimentary printout of services/dates/mileages for you.

I did it last year when I was selling my Honda, but as I say whet they were able to trace was only rudimentary and listed actual service dates, although as I'd always used the same local dealer they were agreeable to stamping the book for me to bring it up to date, all FOC; whether OPC keep more detailed records, and whether they'd be agreeable to providing a new and stamped service book, I guess you'd have to ask them - I have seen blank service books periodically on eBay if they can't (or won't) supply them. There's one here presently (needs to be posted from the US, but should otherwise be the same)

Good luck - let us know how you get on.

 
Also see previous keepers listed on the vehicle registration document, and possibly any older MOT details in you folder - also if you stick the registration history up on the forum and a picture/description you may find other members will be helpful or have some anecdotal knowledge of the car.

 
I think the VIN number may be the best way into the UK OPC records together with the V5C document to demonstrate ownership.

 
Service book order from your local OPC.

If none of the above suggestions work, the original licence plate number can be used to identify where in the country the car was first registered which should help identify the delivering OPC and if your lucky the missing services.

 
As Gordon says, you can get a new Warranty & Maintenance Book from an OPC. Part Number WKD 900 020 03 @ £13.12 inc. VAT

 
thanks to you all for the tips,

I will be chasing the ideas up from today,

I will post exactly how i get on

[:)]

 
Thanks again for the advice,

Ordered a new service book from OPC Reading they are happy to stamp it up with the work they have done,

downside is no idea when the book will be delivered,

they have orders in the system from November 2014 & May 2015 now mine Sept 2015,

All books come through Porsche Germany, no other options & no timescale on deliveries,

Keeping my fingers crossed
