Hi

I have just bought my first ever car, and its a 2012 baby blue Roomster SE TSI 85.

 

So far so good, but when I bought it the spare wheel was minus the tool kit tray. So I want to get a long/extendable wheel brace but am uncertain of the size I need

I have searched the manual and google and spent time on here getting distracted but cannot find the bolt size. I keep getting led to Fabia listings and wondering if they are same size?

 

Can anyone advise, what size wheel brace do I need?

Is anyone selling the tool kit and tray, with holding in place bolt

 

Thanks  

You'll be safe enough with the Fabia listing, they will be the same for the Roomster. In fact they'll be mostly the same for all VAG cars.

Pretty much all vag light passenger vehicles use 17mm wheel bolts.

I have alloy wheels and a steel spare. I asked the dealer if the bolts are OK with both and was assured they are.

Buy yourself a 2ft breaker bar and a 17mm impact socket. Should get that for less than £20 from Amazon, no wheel bolt will be able to resist that even if air-gunned on.

Brilliant!! Sorry for my delay in responding, but thanks to all for your useful advice. Purchase has been made :-)
