I've a 94 993 and for some reason although my car came with the original tool kit and Porsche Compressor it didn't have a jack. I bought one from a yard on the basis of it being one for a 993. Now although I've had the car for about 7yrs and the jack for just little than that, for some reason it's started to rub me up the wrong way, the fact that I can't get the jack to fit snugly in the front with the space saver! Mine is a scissor jack and I'm sure they come in a cantilevered option? I think it may actually be for a 964! If it didn't come with a scissor jack, can any one advise an outlet for the cantilevered type? If it is a scissor, could someone post a pic of how they fit theirs so the bonnet floor lies flat?

Thanks in advance, Mike.
 
I had to source one the few years ago. The scissor jack that's list as 'turbo' is also OK, but there are two types of scissor jack, a smaller/not so wide one (which is the right one) and a wide one (which is for 944 I seem to remember).
 
Thanks Clive, I've managed to track down a 000.721.711 scissor jack as listed in the doc. Much appreciated.
Thanks to Stuart too!
 
Do people actually use these scissor jacks?? Or are you sourcing it for completeness?

I wouldn't trust one... especially not on a cold windy motorway hard shoulder. I don't trust my car enough not to have breakdown cover either...


 
Both! Not much room in the bonnet for a trolly jack and have no intensions of waiting 2 hours for a recovery unit to change a flat tyre!
