Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello to those that read this, I'm new to the Porsche Club and also to the world of Porsche and am looking for some help. I bought my beloved C4S, but she did not come with a Space Saver Wheel & Jacking kit, when I called a local Porsche dealer they informed me that the C4S does not have/need a spare wheel and it comes with a pump and foam kit?? I'm a bit confused, as she (My C4S) clearly has a space for what looks like a wheel ! Not wanting to get caught out with a flat and no spare I have been looking in the usual places like EBay and have found the following: Space Saver on EBay Wheel & Jack Kit - EBay Could someone advise me if these are the correct items for my C4S 2003 wide body, and if not please let me know where best to purchase Many thanks A slowly deflating Mick

POST 2Original post

Hi Mick, What does the handbook say should be with the car? Rgds JCR

POST 3Original post

Mick! That space-saver isn't the right one - it is for a C2 or Boxster, where the wheel mounts vertically at the back of the compartment. That tool kit looks to be the one that fits into the back of the spacesaver. The C4 spacesaver is "collapsible" (ie deflated) and fits under the compartment floor panel. The tools, and a compressor to inflate the tyre, just sit inside it. I would contact a breaker like Porsche-Apart. I'm sure they would have what you need.

JRC..... Now why didn't I think of that?!?.... what a numpty I am[ ] Checked my handbook (page 102 for the record) and all was revieled Thanks Mick

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Many thanks for your advice on what I thought could have been the right wheel.... I am appreciative for your input and what could have been an embarrassing scene on my driveway I had committed to the purchase "¦ [ ] I've had a quick scan of the Porsche-Apart website and will give them a call today This is a fine example of what forums and being a member of a club is all about THANKS AGAIN!!
