Spare wheel bolt?

[Robbie C]

Can anyone plase provide a picture of their spare wheel well in a MK3 Cupra as mine appears to be missing a cap that screws onto the top of the threaded bolt going through the spare wheel?

At the moment I have a bungee cord holding the jack over the wheel and it's rattling like buggery so I'm keen to find out what I need to get it sorted ASAP.

When I went to the local SEAT garage yesterday they quoted me £57 + VAT for a cap that screws on top of the threaded bolt

TIA,

looooool its just a plastic screw type thing...you can have mine for £30 + VAT

lol, so kind of you. I've just looked in my owners manual and it also looks like there should be a rubber strap over the tool kit as well. Can anyone clarify this?

 

[truCido]

yeah they even came with the mk2...infact I think its the same kit

just wrap the metallic tools up in an old towel and wedge that at the edge of the tyre and it'll stop the rattles and the tyre will be secure too.

Cheers for the input. I've taken the tools out for the time being to see if that helped but I still have an annoying rattle so I'm thinking it might be the parcel shelf. Are there any common culprits for rattles on the MK3s?
