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

Hi Chris, I didn’t use a foam insert. I wrapped the jack and tools up in a felt blanket and placed them under the floor flap storage area between the wheel well and back seats. (See my photos) The securing nut is the same one that held the plastic cover for the foam insert housing the air pump and tyre repair fluid ( now removed to make room for the new wheel) Hope this helps. Good luck 🤞 

Hi folks, seeing as I’ve just gone through the process of finding and fitting a spare space saver wheel to my A4 Avant 2.0 35 TFSi 2021 I thought I’d post some pictures of the wheel well and tire in situ, as well as where I’ve stored the jack and tools.

The wheel itself was purchased from The Wheel Shop in Manchester SKA No. WSN-A028-5X112-66-X ( you can also buy the jack and tool kit from them if you wish)

As you can see, the wheel sits perfectly in the space (after removing the foam insert for the pump and tyre repair canister)

The jack and tools are wrapped in a felt blanket and placed in the storage space under the flap between the wheel well and rear seats.
