Have you checked the expiration date on your OEM tire sealant?

I spoke with a dealer today and they confirmed this is the new part number and went back and phsycially put their hands on a unit and it was 600ml, im thinking that this is now only being produced for VW/Porsche in the 600ml size and the OEM brand is 700ml. Below is a link to it.

Huh. With the expiration date and 600 ml vs. 700 ml questions, it's buyer beware, I think. Some parts sellers websites say that the 700 ml version fits my 2016 GTS while other sites say it does not. (I don't think it will fit the frunk holder.) Some sellers show the 700 ml version in connection with the VW part number or have a note pointing out that the version being offered is 700 ml. My guess is that the 600 ml version is no longer being made and existing stocks of it are expired or about to expire. I hope somebody proves me wrong though and finds a fresh supply. My bottle's expiration date was 09/2019 so I would like to replace it.

I checked with my dealer's parts guy yesterday. They found one of the OEM 600 ml bottles still in stock, listed under the newer Porsche part number, but it has less than 3 years of its 5.5 year shelf life remaining and costs $113. I told him I would look for a fresher bottle.

I considered offering him $60, but he works for a dealership that doesn't deal. Instead, for about $15 I bought a big can of Fix a Flat (2-year shelf life) that both seals and inflates. And unlike the Porsche sealant, it claims to be TPM sensor safe. Of course, it won't fit in the frunk's little holder thingy. To be fair, I've never had to use a sealant on a car tire, so I don't have an opinion on which sealant is better. However, I have used Slime to seal multiple Russian Olive thorn punctures on a John Deere 420 lawn tractor's low pressure balloon tires and it worked very well. It was a lot easier than patching inner tubes and one application lasted for years.

Just got this one from Suncoast. It’s the same 600ml that was original. Fits perfect into my holder as shown in post 27 above. Expiration date on it is 06/2024.
