Empty Slot in Boot Tool Kit

[lm_92]

Hi All,

Just collected my '17 Leon SC FR 150 and I'm in love (slight upgrade from my 1.2 2005 Ibiza ). I checked the toolkit under the boot floor and the front-most slot is empty. I found an image of the complete toolkit and the item I'm missing is the red case in this image: http://www.recsoparts.nl/Webwinkel-Product-221898479/Seat-leon-krik-set-5F0012109A.html

Does anyone know what this is? I can only assume it's a market-specific safety kit or first aid kit?

Thanks in advance

Could be first aid kit or maybe spare bulb kit both of which are legal requirements in some euro countries

Thanks for the response. Yeah it could be that, I just wondered if anyone knew for sure. I kinda want whatever it is, purely for OCD purposes

Mine was empty as well

Does it not mention in the user manual in the tool kit section, what it is?

Very slightly off topic I would swap that kit out for the spacesaver wheel kit. I never trust tyre weld. There is still room to retain the compressor and store it in the tyre recess area.

I've had a look through both the english and french versions of the manual and couldn't see anything!

First thing I done when I got mine.

I'd be very reluctant to buy a car that can't take at least a space saver. Have full-sided spares in all our Seats.

I'm with you on that one, I always wangled an alloy wheel spare into my deals back in the days when they gave a steel spare as standard. Never had a pump kit, always at least a space saver spare.

I carry the pump as well because.. you never know.

For the "you never know" moments I have in my boot a lightweight racing trolley jack, a rechargeable impact driver gun, a Noco battery starter and both a plug in inflator and footpump as well as the all usual oil/coolant etc stuff.

That's a lot!

You shouldn't need the impact driver if you've torqued the nuts in the first place. Oh, another thing I carry is a spare plastic dodah for pulling off the wheel nut covers. If you break or loose that you'll have a heck of a time getting them off.

I wouldn't carry coolant as water will do until you get home. If you carry jump leads then every passing car is a battery starter ;0)

On long trips I take a 2L bottle of water (then don't have to worry so much if it does spill in the boot). And one of these, so I don't have to worry about finding a donor car (assuming it works the one time I need it).

They do work, as even after 5 months in the boot mine was still showing full charge and started one of our office diesel vans no bother.

I work on the assumption that water is not hard to find.

Years ago we went on a cycle trip, some off-road over a big hill then along a canal path for about sixteen miles. A guy joined us who was new to the game and never done anything like this. He had a big packpack on and while we were up the hill he was pulling stuff out of it. He had two 3L bottles of water. TWO! I said to him 'where are you going, the moon?' He also had a large can of WD40.
