Hi,
I would not like to waste the limited room in the trunk the tire repair kit and found some space above the ABS-system.
But the weight of the compressor would press on the brake pipes, which I dont think is a good idea on long term basis.
Did anyone use this space for the tire repair kit or found another good location for it?

Thank you !
Manfred

Fits behind the passenger seat even if fully back - my recollection is vertically to one side

That's where I had mine, until I decided it was likely doing it no good, being cooked while the car was parked outside in hot weather, so it's in the front boot now.

I guess it is rather similar temperature in the front and rear trunks as well as in the interior, dont you think so?
However I would like to use the front trunk for luggage, thats why I asked for hidden space... 😉

The front trunk doesn’t get anywhere near as warm as the back one in my experience.

No, I don't.

The front boot is definitely coolest. The rear boot would be cooler, but only if you never drove your car.

I think "hot" and "hotter" are more appropriate descriptions for the luggage compartments.

I store mine in the basement. Another kilogram spared 👌🏼

Thanks for your replies, yesterday I found some space for it in the area of the brake master cylinder as well as in the interior above the passenger footrest.
I will check at the next occasion, which is better.
Front trunk and basement was not according to my intention - although it maybe also a good solution for one of you. 😉
