Space saver tyre won’t fit due to polystyrene insert

Featured Replies

Hi. I’ve just bought a pre registered A3 Black edition (74 plate). There is a compressor and tyre puncture kit in the boot in a polystyrene holder on the bottom right hand side of the boot. I kept my previous A3’s space saver wheel (2018 plate) and it doesn’t fit because of the polystyrene foam insert. Is there an easy way to get this insert out as the tyre should fit if it was moved. There seems to be a plastic button like thing holding it to the boot but don’t want to wreck it if there’s a way of removing it without damage. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏

Hi Steve. I’ve had another message from Joe to give me the heads up. I’ve managed to get the insert out of the boot using a combination of 2 wheel cap removal tools which loosened off the plastic button holding the thing in place…without damaging it which was a result. Thanks very much for your help…brilliant forum for information. 🙏
