tyre inflator
Hi guys, the emergency tyre compressor which came with my porker has given up the ghost. Did these cars come with a Porsche-branded compressor originally? If so, is it worth sourcing a new one, or is a generic machine all that is needed?
Cheers
Andrew.

Yes. They look like this in the US, as I'm guessing they do in the ROW.

They're pretty commonly available from Porsche dismantlers/junk yards.
It was a common 'package' across the 944/928/911 lineups.
That black rounded plastic container/case you see above is about 1 ft square by 6 inches deep.
Here's one going for about $100: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...spagenameZWDVW
If you're not persnickity about OE, then anything that gets you to 40 psi will do just fine. Foot pump, tire pump, bicycle pump, blow-hard relative, etc.
