Tyre Repair Kit

columbo808 · Jan 2nd, 2021, 22:40

Had a flat tyre a couple of days ago and used the repair kit for the first time. Obviously need to get new sealant, but I’m sure I read somewhere the hose for the compressor needs replacing also??
Can anyone confirm what I need to replace, and best place to source the items, possibly cheaper than the main dealer!!
The car is going up for sale soon, so need to make sure it’s in order before getting rid of it.

Thanks.

There are a number of Volvo repair kits available on that well known auction site, ranging from £23 to £29.
I have no idea what the main dealers charge

If it's the Conti-Seal kit, some info here.

I bought the replacement hose and sealant from Savoy Tyres, quite a few years ago now so can't remember the price, but they were very competitive when I priced it up at the time.

Edited post to add that I just had a look and I still have the kit. It's yours if it is the right kit.

Many thanks for the offer 👍 I will have a look in the morning and see if the parts look similar.

Do all the cars even the ones that come with not “continental” tyres still come with the “ CONTIMOBILITYKIT” and does the gunk have an expiry date?

Not sure about the branding but the gunk does have an expiry date. I think they last 3/4 years.

Certainly all these that I have seen, carry an expiry date. Just something else to worry about when setting out on an adventure.
