I too bought the space saver after I got my Octy and it came with all the bits and bobs and just the same as the Yeti if I have to use it the original wheel will sit proud so will raise the boot floor slightly. So if I'm fully loaded I'll call Skoda assist (and get them to repair it if possible), if not I'll change it over if it's safe to do so. Thing is whether I have the spare or gunge kit if I elect/have to do it myself I've still got to empty the boot to get to either, so as a suggestion why not take out the foam insert that the jack etc is in so you can take the gunge and compressor kit too- that way if you are fully loaded you could use the gunge rather than the spare so you wouldn't have problems re loading all your stuff after?

That's not a bad idea at all, assuming the compressor and gunge will fit in the space left by the foam insert?

How much is the compressor / gunge kit from Skoda as obviously these won't come with the car having ordered the spare?
