How to do it
- Move the car so the tyre valve is at the bottom.
- Remove the valve cap and unscrew the valve core with the special tool.
- Prepare the repair kit with compressor, sealant bottle and hose.
- Connect the compressor to the car's 12-volt socket.
Why it works
Sealant closes small puncture holes. Larger damage, separation, cracks or leaking valves can't be fixed with it.
Variations
- For damage larger than 4 to 5 mm across, use only the spare wheel or call breakdown assistance.
