Tyre sealant and Compressor

[JasGill]

Good Afternoon All

Just a quick heads up;
I collected my MY2021 Macan GTS earlier today and was disappointed to note that the tyre sealant and compressor are now optional items.

Hello and a warm welcome to the GTS club.

Mine had the compressor. It's strapped behind the left panel in the boot area. I did buy a can of sealant via Amazon to go with it.

Hi

Many thanks for the warm welcome; looking forward to learning from long - time members on this forum. I collected the the car this morning from OPC West London and, at the handover, when I queried the missing compressor I was advised that the compressor was now an optional item.

Yes, this is Porsche penny pinching introduced with the 2021MY. You can buy a Ring Compressor and Holts Tyre Weld on Amazon for less than the £42 Porsche want for the compressor and sealant.

Someone told me this is the sealant and compressor kit that Porsche branded they use to supply

At......£29.85 & FREE Delivery.....for both, then that's excellent value for money given their sealant alone is currently £21.99.

Exactly what do Porsche expect a customer to do if they get a flat now?

Phone the recovery service I guess and wait maybe 2 hours for them to show up.

Or it's a slow puncture, then proceed at no more than 50 mph to the nearest tyre depot. Avoid sudden braking or rapid cornering.

Once alerted by the car, check the actual pressure on the TPM screen and add air via the onboard compressor or at the nearest garage, if needed. Before your trip to the tyre depot, if it's more than a few miles.

Unless you ticked the options box the point made is that there is now “No Onboard Compressor” much simpler and foolproof solution is to always tick the Spare Wheel
