Parsimonious ‘Toolkit’
I have compressor and sealant supplied with the car, but the factory fitted tyres are not self-sealing. I think they expect you to stay with self-sealing tyres if originally fitted or arrange your own repair kit.
28/8/21 Ordered IV60 Lounge, Quartz Grey Metallic. Delivery quoted 6 months!
31/1/22 build week 16/22 allocated
31/5/22 Car built and on its way. Delivery expected Mid-June
06/6/22 Waiting for transport to dealer
25/6/22 Collected car!

I have 'self seal tyres' - 20" Bridgestones and no compressor/sealant was supplied or expected.
I do however keep a heavy duty tyre compressor and large sealant cannister (450ml) suitable for these large tyres in my boot, just in case !

Indeed. I bought an Airman kit. I have had to buy a 12v extension lead, as the only 12v socket is in the boot and it doesn't reach the front wheels!

Ha yes, you'll need that extension lead. That'll catch a lot of Enyaq owners out when they come to recharge their front tyres if they haven't got one.orrery wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 7:01 amtiger tony wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 4:05 pmI have 'self seal tyres' - 20" Bridgestones and no compressor/sealant was supplied or expected.

The car has self sealing tyres, so no kit.

I just unravelled the 12V cable from the supplied compressor to check it would reach all the wheels from the 12V socket in the offsideof the boot - it did. But it is the devils own job to get it back in the space allocated for it in the body of the compressor. I've done it so you don't have to!
