996.2 MY2003 Emergency Wheel air compressor location

[alex222]

In 996.1 the air compressor is located in the niche by the emergency wheel. In the 2005 parts catalog the air compressor for emergency wheel is listed for all 996 production years. Where is the air compressor default location for MY2003 996.2 Cabrio?

I've only seen the spare tire + jack + tool wrap. I've ordered a GT2/GT3 foam insert that has the compartment for the compressor, goo, first aid and emergency triangle. (plus misc tools such as tow hook)

987 + 997 comes with the compressor and goo too. I think the 996 normally assumes your spare is fully pumped up.

Correct. My 987 is having the air compressor as those pups along with 997s are not having a spare no more😉 so you got to make it somehow. 

 

 

 

I also tend to think the C2/Targa/C2 Cabrio are not having the air compressor as it says in the manual to maintain 60PSI spare inflated at all times. Only C4/4S/Turbo/GT2-s having it as their spare is kept deflated.

 

 

The First Aid kit in C2/Targa/C2 Cabrio goes on the RH wall (item #8) there is a strap. I have added a CD Changer to my 996.2 so it's a perfect place for it in front of the CD Changer. I can put the First Aid kit into the strap where it should be but seeing a hood lid lip is right up there when the lid is closed so it might rub the First Aid kit zipper against the lid you don't want that. 

 

The Warning Triangle (item #11) for C2/Targa/C2 Cabrio goes into a spare wheel pocket bag.
