Quick question about tools, tyre weld and a bag in a Boxster

[RichB]

We've got a 2009 Boxster which we bought as an ex-OPC demonstrator when it was about 6 months old. In the boot there is an empty black cloth bag. Thinkning about it, neither is there a locking wheel nut key anywhere. I am guessing the bag should contain a can of tyre weld and a wheel wrench and where should the locking wheel nut key be? Never really bothered to look for these but now I'm wondering if the dealer forgeot to put them back into teh car after they valeted it last time it was in for service? Being only 2 x years old and being the first owners since it was owned by th edealer everything should be in its place. Anyone know what tools it should have and what the bag's for?

The bag could be for the wind deflector. My 986 has one. Tools are inside the spare on our car, though I doubt your 987 has a spare so have a poke around in the front boot maybe?

[RichB]

Thanks - No spare, good idea about the wind deflector. Any idea where the locking wheel nut key might be?

My guess it is the same as a 911?

Try looking under the carpet in the front boot.

Sorry to go on chaps, should there also be a towing eye?

The reason I ask is that a couple of months ago the car was reovered to Porsche Reading because of a dead battery and now I remeber the chap with the low-loader screwed in a towing eye. Would this have belonged to the car? And if so perhaps the locking nut key was in the same bag and has been mislaid?

So far I have found, a warning triangle, a bottle of oil & washer fluid provided by the OPC and that's it...

Behind the carpeted section that the warning triangle clips into. Goop, wheel key and towing eye, along with your 'toolkit'

Aa ha... Went out about an hour ago and found it all, in fact credit where it's due, my wife found it. Thanks, as you say, behind the warning triange! Didn't realise there were so many places to stash stuff, must be a customs officials nightmare
