Sorry, I know this topic comes up a fair bit and hope you will indulge this forum AND Skoda noob. I've read through the topics on here and I think I have an idea of the spare wheel my son needs for his 2014 TDi 2.0 vRS CR estate. I want an 18" 125/70R18 to replace a potential 19" alloy if he is unlucky enough to get a flat. Right... I'm going to go eBay for cost reasons and I've found a wheel with this post number: 1K0601027B at a great price off a Mk5 Golf. Pic of wheel below. Now, I think that it technically should be the 1K0601027AP version (according to a thread on here) but I've no idea what the difference is between the B and the AP is? The offset and all the other info seems to be the same as the AP? Is it fair to say it will fit? Pic below. Secondly, other than that, where can I get the foam insert and tools from other than eBay at a fair price? Not sure if and is feeling the right kit on eBay at the moment? The owners manual mentions 2 different jacking points, is the jack different? I'm a little confused. From the owners manual I think his car has the 2 triangle indents on the sill, no plastic inserts... I don't think anyway. So it's option A? Thank you all for the help, much appreciated.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I'm posting this pic as much for a test as anything but it will also illustrate the sensors positioning. I'll have a look at the viability of changing them in situ when my lads next over. Thanks again!

Hmmm... Id like too know this too. My sons MK3 has the sensors mounted up in the colour coded bumper, not the lower black plastic trim (diffuser?). One or more of his dont work and although taking the bumper off isn't the hardest thing in the world from the vids on YT, I'd prefer not to remove it at all.

Just joined as this forum comes up a lot in Google searches. My lad just bought a MK3 Octavia vRS, only the second Skoda the family has ever owned. The first one was the rear engineered model my old dad owned in the 80's. How life, Skodas and the times have changed? Anyway, I'll need to be doing a few jobs on the Skoda/ helping him do them, though I'm no mechanic, so just wanted to say hi from not so sunny Kent! Thanks, Poopy.
