12V air compressor in Touareg.

How good is the VW supplied air compressor did anyone had to use it?
I'm thinking about replacing it with The Big Red or Blue Tongue unit.

I personally would not rely on it. I brougt a second one just in case.

I bought The Big Red - kit in the box. It's very nice unit, quieter than the blue tongue twin I use in my T5. Now I have to fit it in a smaller box, so it fits at the place of original compressor.

I've used the supplied compressor to inflate the space saver and it's OK for that. Not much good for off roading use where you need to inflate 4 tyres in one hit. I bought a super max for that and it works a treat.
