Moving spare wheel and kit from one Octavia to another

[Stevetewkesbury]

I'm thinking of changing my Octy 3 estate 2016 2.0 TDI SE L ESTATE DIESEL for 2017 or 2018 hatchback petrol - non --VRS

 

Can I transfer the spare wheel and foam kit etc. which is in the estate INTO ANY OCTAVIAS of 2017/8 (as v few cars I've seen for sale have the spare)?

 

The tyres on my car are 205/55/16

Thanks Steve

Short answer - yes - absolutely no problems.

 

Generally as long as the replacement car has the same wheel profile, you should be good to go.

A lot of the FL Octy's have 17", but a lot of the smaller engined (1.0tsi, 1,4tsi) have the smaller wheel profile (ie 16").

You might find a foam kit has expired date

If so leave it in old car, and buy upto date one for replacement car

Even if your new car has 17" wheels the 16" wheel will be fine for a spare as the rolling circumference is the same, but you will be limited to 50mph when on as it is not the same size as the other 3.
