Hi...i dont know whether it is my imagination, but when we got our superb greenline 1.9 tdi, we knew that the car didnt have a spare wheel. My question is, although we have the air pump and tyre repair gunge, did anything else come with the foam infill that was in the boot instead of the spare wheel?

I've been racking what brain i have left, and noticed that the car did not come with a jack and spanner to remove the wheel nuts, but it did come with the socket for removing the locking wheel nuts. can someone with the same model put me out of my misery and let me know what exactly should be in the boot of the car?? Many thanks

My 1.9 Greenline came with all you describe PLUS the jack and wheelbrace, it was however an ex demo car so may have had these added by the garage. I subsequently bought a steel wheel and tyre from my local dealer and a new plasic insert to go inside the wheel to hold the jack etc. I now have a lovely expanded polystyrene wheel well insert in my garage which was removed to put the spare in.

Thanks for that info...seems that i havent quite lost it just yet...but i do recall transferring the jack /wheel brace / spare wheel from my old superb when that was off the road for 7mths..into the greenline.And now that the old superb was sold recently, i had to transfer it all back into the mk1 superb...it was then i realized i wasnt quite sure what actually came with the greenline !! But i did have another spare wheel which came off a skoda l+k octavia with a brand new tyre, and as for the jack, i have a small trolley jack in the boot now, plus a decent socket for removing the wheel nuts. The ecconomy is so good on the greenline, it didnt warrant the extra expenditure for getting the spare wheel and other bits from the main dealer, as it is a motability car. And i really dont trust the emergency kit that came with the new car at the time.But thanks for your help

I had a puncture recently. Someone pointed out to my that I had a very flat rear NS tyre. I was able to pump it up, and drive to the nearest Kwik-Fit without using the gunk, as the puncture was not too severe.

the gunk is really only useful if you have a very fast puncture or are miles from help.

Knowing my luck, the gunk if i did use it would come straight back out onto the road hehe...cant beat a proper spare wheel,it's a lot more reassuring knowing something is in the boot ready to get you home if needed..just got to remember to make sure its fully inflated
