tyre replacement AUDI A4 Avant (2019) spare tyre question
Chris 747 replied to Steve335's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Hi again Paul, I've got a space-saver spare wheel and have just tried fitting in. Only problem is I cannot see how to fit the black plastic cover back on, there are no slots for the cover to slide into. Here are a couple of pics. Any help appreciated. All the best, Chris Bryant

Hi Paul, Another very interesting post about the space-saver spare wheel. I thought I'd take another crack at trying to fit all the components and have ordered the wheel & toolkit from The Wheel Shop. Where did you get your foam insert from? I believe I'll need the securing nut too. Where did you get that? Is there anything else I'll need? All the best, Chris -

Useful info, Geoff. Where did you buy the foam insert from? What about a tool kit? I bought mine from my local Audi dealership - jack plus jack handle - but returned for a refund as I could not fit the components, even with the help of Audi service guy! I must be doing something wrong!🤔 I'll have to look into another try. 🙂 -
Hi everyone, I finally found the problem of my Nextbase dashcam not holding its battery charge. Basically, my own fault! 🤲 I found a connection was not fully in place after all the other tests I had done. Everything is now working as it should. Fortunately I do not need a replacement battery at this time...hooray! I did wait for a few days before reporting back on this to make sure all was well. Happy days! 😄

Hi Gareth, I did check both those options but Battery Megastore was no good and Tayna has some very poor reviews - apparently they do not accept any bad reviews, which is worrying. I will look for the brands you mentioned but this is an ongoing problem that I'm attempting to sort out. See my post from a few minutes ago. Cheers!

Thanks for that, Stephen. This is definitly an ongoing issue. I checked with my local Audi dealer's service and spares departments and from what info they gave me my current battery (excuse pun!) should be okay if such & such is working as normal, which it is. For them to do a test of the battery would cost £140!!! 😮So, not going that route! Plus they are asking for £322.20 for a new one!!! The Halford's one at £180 appears to be the best deal but I'm currently working on a battery check of my dashcam which could be faulty, following directions from NextBase. It's a 4 hour process! I'll update my finding when that's completed. 🤞 Cheers!

Hi, Yes, I know - everything seems pricey for Audis. I have looked online and saw that Halfords has an AGM 095 battery with a 5 guarantee for £180 (fitting extra, of course) but that seems too cheap really compared with others I've seen - a Bosch S3 is £282.58 from buycarparts.co.uk for instance. It's a bit of a minefield.

My A4 Avant 40 TFSI was registered in March 2019 - it's a mild hybrid purchased used at 3,027 miles and bought from a main dealer (it was the service manager's car for around 4 months.) No problems with the lithium battery so far as I can tell, but I do need to replace the main battery. See my post on that subject.

It looks like I'll need to replace my A4 40 tfsi Avant's stop/start battery soon as does not appear to hold it's charge. I have connected it to a CTEK charger twice now over a few days. This came to light a while after the fitting of a NextBase dashcam insomuch that the camera stops working after a very short period. So, I hope I can get some tips from the forum on the best replacement battery and other similar experiences of others.

Thanks for the update, Mark, and apologies for this very late reply. I will give it one more try, I think. You have been very helpful. Regards, Chris -

Hi again, Mark, I can't find any pics of the space-saver spare I bought & returned, or the foam carrier & tool kit & locking nut. However, the wheel I did buy was a 125/70/R19 size. I just find it so frustrating that I could not fit all the components in the space! I'm inclined to give it another go, but there again I really don't want all the faff of maybe having to return the bits. I appreciate your time & comments, Mark. -

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. As you'll see from an earlier post of mine, I had a couple of the service/tech guys from my local Audi dealership try to fit the kit (I had tried myself plus later with help from a friend too) but simply could not make it fit! I did remove all the ancillaries. Has your car got a lidded storage box behind the rear seats as part of the moulding? Mine is shown in the first picture. All the best, Chris -
My A4 Avant (B9) was registered in March 2019 and is a mild hybrid too.
