Hope this isn't a stupid question - but could this be used on my FSI Sport with 17"s? or is there a 17" space saver version?

[erstens]

Yes, you can use that. It is for all A2 except the 1.2TDI.

[John flower]

Can anyone advise me on where to find these please, tried eBay with no luck, :(

[A2 DRS]

Be aware that some of the VW spacesavers can also be used on the A2. I got mine for around £25 on eBay!:D

Regards

Wha is this with a fitting kit?
I bought my '05 A2 a few weeks ago and it came with a space saver sitting on the boot floor...now resigned to the garage,,,,is there somewhere in the car this should be stored??...cheers :)

Hi Clubsport, my saver (1.4 petrol, 15") saver sits onto a plastic tray with indentations plugs that pick up the stud bolt holes (5 of) then it is secured to the lower floor by a central screw bar with large plastic turning handle, goes through centre hole of wheel onto threaded hole in this floor, which is a bracket that is fitted over the cars battery in base floor, sounds a little complicated but is really very simple and affective, hope this helps, regards ALAN.

[clubsport]

Tks for the reply...Hhmm..I sem to have 1 level of boot floor, with a flap which lifts to reveal the battery & jack et....no holes in the board to accomodate a mounting mechanism?

[humps]

Hi Clubsport,

you can see the bracket here

[clubsport]

Humps, many thanks for posting the link...perfectly clear now :)

Have to say, I am not sure if I can muster the enthusiasm to go out and get one though......more likely to run with a can of tyre weld gloop on short local runs and try to remember to take the physical spare on longer runs.

[steve hughes]

Spacesaver sold and also my A2 so its over and out , thanks to all forum members over the last 18 months its a real virtual community. Big up for Mike and Erstens always there to offer advice.

Im trading down seeking more mpg so I will miss the passion of my A2.

Can someone please clarify what size of space saver will fit an A2? I have 17" alloys fitted with 205/40/R17 at present.

Many thanks
