Hi Sean I store the jack and extendable wheel brace in a strong fabric bag which velcro's to the boot carpet, there's not too much room under the spacesaver widthwise. If you wanted to store in the boot I think the fitted plastic storage box between the rear seats and the spacesaver could be replaced for one from a b8 or early b9 which I believe has space for a jack. If one comes up on eBay I may consider it. In the LLL parts UK manufacturers diagram it's listed as number 5. Cheers Peter

I just bought the wheel only for £169 as I already had a suitable jack. It's supposed to fit any b9 variant as the rolling radius of the 17, 18 & 19" wheels are virtually the same. There may (or not) be issues on front brake caliper clearance so best to fit to the rear wheels replacing a flat front with a good rear.

Hi Sean Wheel arrived and fits OK👍 It's a 19" but it has the same rolling radius as the 17" wheels My only slight concern is that it's resting on the battery cables, so as shown in the photos as a temporary fix I've cut up a few pieces of carpet which are now taking the weight. Will get some hard foam for a permanent fix (if the factory under wheel foam takes the weight I might source one of those) Note - you have to junk the tyre gunk and compressor container

Hi Sean Your boot looks exactly the same as mine. I've got a brand new spacesaver on order from the "Wheel shop" it should arrive on Monday, I will let you know how (and if) it fits. 👍 I'd also say you have the b9. The b8 wasn't an MHEV car.

Apologies for the incomplete above post, the link I'm referring to is been treated as spam (it's not) but it is not being accepted. You should be able to get to read it by googling "a dream come true my audi a4 2.0 tfsi 27 April 2022"

The attached link is to a review of the facelifted A4 b9.5 MHEVwritten by an owner in India. In addition to being one of the best reviews I've ever read on the car, the review reveals his car has an Audi fitted spacesaver wheel (and answers the above question 👍

Cheers Trevor Parts numbers really helpful Pete👍👍

Cheers Trevor I'll go back to Crewe Audi and ask them why they can't do the same for my Car? Any chance of posting a photo of the installation that I can shove in their face? 🤣 Pete

Everyone who has replied had the Avant. I've yet to have any info ref a spacesaver fitted in a saloon. I called into my local Audi dealers today and asked them, a total waste of time I got the standard response"if it wasn't fitted as standard equipment we can't comment" I've attached photos of the boot space for a spare in the saloon. As you can see it differs from the Avant. Any additional info for the MHEV Saloon would be welcome.

There's a lot of conflicting info out there ref Audi A4 tyre pressures. For example on my Audi A4 2.0 TDI 35 with 225/50 17 tyres, on the Kwik fit website their recommendation for my exact model is 32f/29r, the Audi door plate sticker says 36f/33r.(this is the comfort setting, the non comfort setting is higher) The unwritten rule seems to be the later the model the higher the tyre pressures? Are Audi doing this to make their mpg figures look a little better in today's "green world"? Higher pressures give a harsher ride and can lead to uneven wear.

Has anyone managed to fit a spacesaver in the MHEV A4 b9 Teknik TDI saloon (17" wheel)? Is there room since Audi fitted the auxiliary Lithium battery? I've seen installations of the 19" wheel, but not of the smaller sizes. If this has been accomplished any photos would be appreciated.

Has anyone fitted the Westphalia detachable towbar to a b9 saloon? If so could they advise if the cut out in the skirt is visible? Photos of any such fitment would be greatly appreciated 👍

I've just bought a late 2020 (70 plate) A4 MHEV Teknik 35tdi. Its a b9. No spare, no jack, not even space for one in the underfloor tray. I've seen several posts showing 19" spacesaver being fitted but none for the 17", so could anyone advise on the following? 1. Would a 17" spacesaver fit over the two batteries in the boot? (12v &12v lithium)? 2. Can the rear boot tray be replaced by one that has the necessary recesses for the jack ect?
