Hey all, so my car has the tyre repair kit, with the VW goop and compressor. However the goop had been used by the previous owner as the bottle is empty and the compressor's 12v connector cable is all loose. So I am currently without any method of dealing with punctures. The price of new goop seems astronomicaly high, in the order of £50. Some cheaper prices on eBay... From what I can see, a spare wheel kit is in the order of £150. So I am wondering if it's a more cost effective long term solution to get a spare wheel kit, preferably a Skoda one. I haven't pulled out the big polystyrene mass under my boot floor so I am unsure of the geometry down there. Some initial questions I have about going down the spare wheel route are: - This may seem like a really silly question but I can't seem to find clarification that spare wheels come with tyres? Does this differ between full size and space savers? - Do Skoda do space savers or full size spare wheels? Or both? - does the geometry of the area under the boot floor mean the wheel will sit snug and not slide around? - My car's wheels are 17", if I get space saverI am guessing I would need to have a wheel with an equally sized centre. - is it advised to go with a wheel and kit not made by the same manufacturer as the car? Some advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
