Mine came with one to start with, dont like the sealant stuff as they only sort some of the issues that can happen to a wheel / tyre.

I dare not imagine what cost this would be from a dealer.

you can get them on ebay for 100 - 150 with the jack etc.

My wife had the same hassle trying to get one for her Ibiza. Took them bloody ages to sort it!

Am i right in assuming that i do need a 18inch space saver .I have 18inch alloys on my mk3,but i am sure i read someone had used a 16inch,seems strange.

I was advised that on 18" wheels you should use the 18" space saver.

You only need the 18" spacesaver to fit over bigger brakes.

IIRC - up to 288mm discs are ok with a 16" spacesaver

Without coming across stupid,in my fuel cap i have two listed 125/70/R16 and 125/70/R18.
Even though i do have 18inch Alto Alloys fitted,does this indicate that i can have either.

Yes - both space savers are the same rolling diameter.

Yes - both space savers are the same rolling diameter.

I fail to understand how both sizes have same rolling diameter, my calculation gives an 8 percent difference.

Then I guess you need to take it up with SEAT because they say you can use both inside the fuel cap.

Thank you

I believe that if you specify the Seat Sound System it comes with an 18inch space saver, to house the sub woofer, even if you have 16inch wheels on the car.
