OMG the goop disappeared your whole wheel. That stuff is evil!
Yes - you can.A bit off topic... but... can you use the air compressor to just add air (top up a tire)?
Without the goop.
True, but when I testedmine I found it to be terrible, slow and noisy. It also doesn't feel like it'll last long, looks disposable, so I'll refrain from using it unless I need to add the goop.Yes - you can.
Do you have a link please?The £10 inflator I bought from Amazon a while back is much better.
You can probably get it cheaper in the shady part of your town.Anyone know where I can get more of the white stuff?
Or should I just ask the local Volvo dealership and pay x10 the cost?
This is the one - I’ve used one to monthly do my tyres for years now:Do you have a link please?
Don't you have to replace the whole lot? I thought once you put the goop through you have to bin the lot and get a new compressor too.Anyone know where I can get more of the white stuff?

I'll contact Volvo and ask them. Thanks.Don't you have to replace the whole lot? I thought once you put the goop through you have to bin the lot and get a new compressor too.
Oh sure, for just checks I've got a cheap pressure gauge, or just small top ups.Perhaps I'm being captain obvious, but just wanted to point out for regular tire checks, a bicycle pump works absolutely fine. First realized this 25 years ago when I took a car for my first track day and saw others adjusting pressures with bike tire pumps. It's way faster and easier than those noisy things that plug into thelighter12v outlet.
Obviously this isn't helpful when you get a puncture leaving the dump (sorry man, that sucks!), but I saw some other posts around general air fill up so wanted to mention.
Genius! My electric pump had only ever reached and checked the rear tyres since delivery because of the 12v connection, can't reach the front. I can get out my MTB floor pump tomorrow and finally check/adjust the fronts.Perhaps I'm being captain obvious, but just wanted to point out for regular tire checks, a bicycle pump works absolutely fine.
Well the cable is definitely not long enough to reach the either front wheel.This is the one - I’ve used one to monthly do my tyres for years now:

If they shortened the cable since I bought it it might not work though, due to polestar having 12V only in the left side of the boot. I had to hold it slightly above ground to do the front right tyre, although going above the seats might have worked better.
