It's the season when the Porsche tire pressure warning lights up: Inflate Porsche tires with Costco's electric inflator

20V hybrid power inflator (electric air compressor)

Recently, even in Tokyo, there are days when it suddenly gets cold, and even if it is warm in the daytime, it gets cold in the morning and evening.

When the outside temperature suddenly dropped in this way, "Are", which can be said to be a winter tradition, occurred every year.

Yes, this is that "that". The tire pressure is low! This is a warning.

It's been a few years since I first got on Porsche, so I'm finally getting used to it, but when this came out in the first winter when I first got on Porsche, I was impatient and immediately contacted the sales person. ..

"It's hard !!"

However, this is a warning about a decrease in tire pressure due to a so-called decrease in outside temperature, not a flat tire.

AndI thought I knew the next year, but I immediately contacted the sales person saying "It's hard!"..

In the end, I immediately contacted him with "Warning !!" (I don't learn), but this year I was pretty comfortable and calmly contacted "I think it came out because it was the usual cold weather". I was able to do it ← After all I am in contact (laugh).

Porsche 992's first tire pressure warning

Hmm, but when I think about it, it was Black Carrera (991.2) who saw this warning every year, so it may be the first time I saw this warning on 992!

Oh, that's rightThe car was delivered in February 2021... After that, 992 will have its first winter this time. I am deeply moved.

Now, when I check the air pressure deviation, it's all -0.3. Even so, there was an error especially in the front right.

Here's what I remembered when I said, "Then, I have to put some air in!"

That is this automatic inflator (electric inflator)! !! ↓

A long time ago, a former race driver I knew said, "This is a very cheap product made in China, but it's convenient, so it's a good idea to have one. This one can afford about four Urus tires. I was able to put it in. "

The above picture is the one when he showed me at that time ↑

After that, when I was thinking of "buying", I couldn't help believing that I lived in Lake Biwa by chance.I saw on MOCO's blog that MOCO had purchased a similar electric air compressor.It is.

According to the story, "(There are many similar products made in China) Probably the same manufacturer everywhere ..." I thought "I see", but this time I dared to choose which product Without being particular about it, I bought the one that was sold at Costco that I found for the time being ^ ^

I'm sure the one introduced by the former racer first, the one from MOCO, and the one I bought ... should be the same in the end (probably (laughs)).

I'm sorry, I don't remember the price clearly, but I think it wasn't 3,000 yen.

That's why this product I bought but hadn't used yet.

finally! !! The day has come to see the light of day. Good luck ~.

Try inflating the tires with an electric air compressor

I'm sorry I used it without reading the instruction manual at all, so I'm sorry ... I tried it.

By the way, the specified value (recommended value) of the tire pressure of Porsche 911 (992) Cabriolet is as follows:

Seeing this, I somehow decided, "Yeah, this time I will go with 2.4bar at the front and 2.7bar at the rear!" The reason is ... sense! (Tekito)

Put that value on the compressor side, connect it to the tire, and put it in.

At first it started from 2.0, so soon after I started putting it in 2.05 or something ↓

I couldn't take a picture properly, so I suddenly jumped to the rear, but the rear tires were getting more and more air, and the 2.4bar start was 2.6 ...

To 2.7, which is the set target value!

With this kind of feeling, this was really convenient and easy because this electric air compressor will automatically do everything up to the air pressure that I initially set "I want to put in this much"! !!

After inflating, run lightly in the parking lot and check the tire pressure.

Yeah, the back left is a little lower (I think this is because when I wasn't used to it, I fluttered and visually stopped the value before the machine stopped automatically), but I'm very happy. In the result.

I also checked the air pressure deviation, yeah, all are exactly 0.0. Perfect!

By the way, beforePorsche truck experienceWhen I participated in the event, the mechanic who came at that time told me, "When checking the tire pressure, it is better to look at this air pressure deviation." I am.

Even now, I am really grateful to the mechanics at that time for all the help I received ^^

The 992, which will enter the new winter for the first time after delivery, has solved the problem of tire pressure drop for the time being.

And since the black Carrera has been adjusting the air pressure perfectly at the Porsche Center the other day, this is in a perfect wintering position before the warning is issued (though it is not such an exaggeration) smile)).

I found Costco's (or Amazon's) Made in China electric compressor to be very useful.

It's also very convenient for driving lessons and for those who are driving on a circuit and want to release the pressure before driving and then return it before returning.

It didn't cost 3,000 yen, so I think it's a good idea to have it as one of the safe materials ^^
