Bills911997

Has anyone tried the spare tire from the 996 (part number 99636202003/04) on a TT? A vendor stated it will work on a 997, was not sure about a TT. Thanks.

I believe it works, so long as you don't have the PCCB.

But, that said, I haven't personally tried it, but recall reading about it here....so it must be true.

Actually, I just did a search on this forum for "spare" and found 31 threads on the subject, so you might want to give them a read also.

Bill,
See my post for emergency wheel and the C4S.
The part number of my spare is slightly different: 996-362-020-03
MMD has used one ending in -02 which appears to be the same as mine.
The 4S brakes are the same as the Red brakes on the turbo so my spare will also fit a 997TT.

The consensus is that these spares will NOT work with PCCB.

Dave, does your sparre fit in your trunk or are you putting it in the backseat?
Congrats on the 09tt btw.

Thanks Chris.
I carry the spare in my trunk. In a 997 wide-body, the spare has to be placed at an angle leaning backwards. I do not have the 6-CD changer but my guess is that this isn't big enough to cause a problem for those who do (I usually sandwich the spare in with a small tool kit on one side and a chamois and Mobil 1 on the other!

Thanks, I need to get one of those, but the nav might not let it fit.

Chris it will fit, as long as you don't have the CD changer. Just angle it a bit and it fits. I have the same spare. Of course it won't work with PCCB's. I used the same spare for my 997S but that had a bit more trunk space (not by much). Good luck.
