I was exploring the front trunk of my 914 to find a hose of sorts coming out of the carpeted headed wall of the trunk and then screwing into the spare tire valve stem.
Is this a sensor or something? I am curious to know what it does. The tire was not filled, so if it is suppossed to be sensing something, please let me know. Thanks, Andrew |

yupp, that means, you only get the windshield washers to work if you have enough air in your spare tire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
there's a valve on the washer bottle cap that will prevent your tire from going flat, i vaguely remeber that it closes at 29 lbs ... so, in order to operate correctly, your spare tire needs more pressure than that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Andy |
