Space saver spare wheel.

Featured Replies

Have just sold my q3,and kept the space saver and Jack and tools.I have purchased a Audi A4 40tfsi black edition what tray will I need for the tyre and other parts also part numbers if possible.Thanking you in anticipation.

My advice would be to use ebay. I managed to buy a full kit for my wife's jag for not silly money. 

Besides the wheel you'll need the clamp/screw that attached ties the wheel down. You should already have a jack.

Hello James,

I did submit my comments in an earlier A4 forum, but here's my experience.

I too have an A4 (Avant) TFSI 2019 model and also wanted to install a space-saver. Sadly, and after purchasing all the bits I thought I'd need from both Ebay & my local Audi dealer, it proved a very complex issue! 🤔 Luckily I was able to get a refund for all those items.

My car did not come with a jack, just the (useless, in most cases) inflation kit. My dealer was helpful to a point, but it meant I would have to purchase a whole new liner for the cargo area to accommodate the necessary kit to fit the spare wheel and its sundry items. They were really helpful, 🤗 and after much time spent on their laptop trying to find a solution, could not fit the items I had bought without that particular liner. 😒
All this is down to weight saving to meet carbon emmision standards, as far as I'm aware, same goes for smaller fuel tanks!

Good morning Chris.Go to you tube,go to Audi A4b8 how to add space saver spare wheel.

Hello James,
Thanks for your reply. I had seen the YouTube video you mentioned whilst researching parts needed to fit a spare wheel and went ahead and ordered them.

Sadly, and after taking the car to a main Audi dealership those parts would not fit. I think I mentioned before that a whole new moulding needs to be purchased for the cargo area to accommodate the parts involved. The technician took a long time searching for the suitable part as there were many options, and he gave no guarantee that it would work out! I called it a day, so now would have to rely on the Audi breakdown service (AA) to fix a flat tyre. 

I really would have thought that somebody out there would have come up with a solution for this very irritating problem. 😟

All the best,

Chris
