Wheels/Tyres / Re: Will a spare fit
« Last Post by apav on Today at 02:31:38 pm »Yes the car should not have had any changes since 2013 but on this latest facelift, they added the adblue. It is in the spare wheel space and that green carton on top of it does not look more than 1-2cm deep. Then below that the whole space must be the tank. I do not think you can fit it on top of the tank. Take some photos but it does not look like a good option.
You could crash the tank with the wheel if you bolt it down firmly. Then you will need to raise the floor by a lot as it does not look deep enough. Your best bet is to have on top of the cover like normal cargo. I have the second generation car and it has cargo anchors behind the rear seats. So you could potentially strap it there and fit other luggage on top and around it.
The subwoofer was going into the spare wheel at the second generation cars but on the third generation it is somewhere around the dash and/or below the front seats. Give it a go if you have another space saver and try to remove one of your wheels and check how much space it takes in the boot as cargo. You could potentially carry it once per year when you go on long trips and rely on the road assistance locally.
It is a matter of luck really whether you will need it. A lot of people only drive locally to work and have a flat tyre when they hit the motorway on the holidays as the tyres overheat when run underinflated and then it is game over. I had one of the tyres going soon after I got the car but the tyres were already cracked and I fell into a motorway roadway crate. The dealer was insisted that the cracked tyres were suitable for a used car but he fitted a new tyre with some discount. Since then, I never had any problems but the tyres are not cracked anymore and I am going over the pressures every time I use the car.
