Fingers crossed it solves it!

I have ordered this one. Will let you know how it goes get on.

I have MIB 2 and download music to the internal HDD via the SD slot. Adding album, artist and track no allowed better searching of and playing of the tracks.

yes thats what i was looking on. looks like it will be very minimal issue, and as others have said (and the manual says actually, now that I have RTFM) you should reset the TPMS after fitting the spare.

Finally got a chance to get the car clean and take some photos. 2016 Moon White SE L Executive. 2.0TDi 190PS DSG - Now just tipped 125,000 miles.

Thanks. In that situation I suppose it’s annoying but understandable to have the warnings but easy to ignore. I’m hoping the rolling diameter is not too different from current wheels that I don’t get the issue but if I do then so be it. On another note, did the sound deadening of the boot floor make a big difference?

Yes this is what I would do. Other than if emergency situation at the side of a motorway etc. Plan is to fit it to rear and test drive. Then do the same to front. Just to be sure of no major mechanical clashes in case it’s needed in emergency.

The size JR RS mentioned above is nearly 6% smaller in circumference.

I’ll send you a direct message.

Yes. Will find the page.

Does it make a difference if you fill in the album, artist etc in the file data on your pc? Should then at least list by artist and album etc?

Yes. Went for as close a size to my alloys as I could get for that reason How do they get over this with the official spare as it’s quite a bit different?

Yea was looking at getting a kerb damaged version of the 18s I have but it would lift the floor by quite a bit and it’s a tight squeeze in the well. Happy with what I have. Will do a test fit Friday and make sure.

At that tyre width and sidewall of the standard spare, it’s 6% smaller circumference. On the tyre size I have it’s less than 0.5%. Granted the rim is 0.5” narrower but the tyre is wider and taller and more similar to the alloys and tyres I have. For the rare occasion it will be used for relatively short duration I’m sure it will be fine.

My purchase was based on the info in this post. Hopefully will be ok. There are posts of people putting karoq alloys on Superbs too. Will do some careful test fitting on Friday.

Just ordered the final bits White led vanity mirror lights Parking brake switch (chrome chipped on my one) Rubber boot liner windscreen mount DAB aerial Final for now anyway. I keep browsing the forum and seeing ideas for things that take my fancy! Next up will be full service, dsg service and rear brakes in about 3000 miles or so.

Hope so! I bought it based on another post on the forum. It’s the right pcd and offset different by 2mm. But half an inch narrower to fit under the floor. Rolling diameter is less than 0.5% different from current wheels. Going to do a test fit later in the week.

Now all set up with a spare. I got this wheel: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364188522719 This Jack: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08FTH8N1T This breaker bar and socket: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403816977765 and this mounting screw: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FP91RLPK I know its a budget tyre but its a cost effective way of having a full size spare. If I were to get a flat on th front I would put swap an alloy from the back to front and then put the spare on the rear. It just its in wheel well without needing to trim any plastic away. And the breaker bar tucks in under the plastic trim before the wheel goes in. Im thinking it may rattle a bit in that position so will put some foam or sound deadening between it and the metal. Floor is flat over the top of the wheel too. Annoyinly the jack is about 10mm too long to fit inside the wheel for the floor to sit flat, but it does fit in the side cubby along with my fire extinguisher, and then the first aid and emergency kit fit in the wheel. Happy with that. The floor does feel a bit soft over the centre of the wheel, and I assume the OEM foam insert goes some way to supporting the floor. May make up a circle of Plywood to fit in the wheel to help support the floor. Also does anyone want the standard foam nonspare wheel insert before I take it to the dump? Is it worth trying to sell?

Did you ever find time to make the guide? I’m looking to do this on our my2021 kodiaq se

I think this is the problem with mine. Does the memory module have to be coded? Can it be done with vcds if so? Mine moves fine but doesn’t save any memories.

Let’s hope The suspension does the trick. I was conscious going over the speed bumps driving away from yours and mine definitely doesn’t bounce!

Ah that’s a shame. It looked like a good mod and as others have mentioned a constant niggle of the difference in colour when opening the boot! Thanks for letting me know.

Hi, very late to the party but wondered if this is still a thing you are offering, or there is anyone else offering the same thing

Hi. Any up to date recommendations for led reversing and rear indicator bulbs? Thanks

This is from the manual. Doesn’t differentiate for ones with pan roof so not sure if it’s different. You have to remove the top part of the boot trim first. One of the stews is hidden behind the small plastic clip that you flick out to get to it Then you can take the trim off. Beware there is an airbag above the d panel. I did this to route a cable for rear camera without disconnecting any airbags.
