Spare wheel`

[cmc]

Anyone know whether this can be ordered as a part via the parts department for the £35 cost that's on the options list from new?

Mines in coming with the standard repair kit. My concern is that if you use the repair kit you've no hope of ever fixing the tyre if you get a flat (if it's fixbale of course).

Not sure, Must be be able to get one somehow, but dunno asbout the price.

Ive ordered mine factory fit. Remember you get two years AA cover.

Try asking in the IMG section on here or even your local dealer?

I was warned when I ordered my car that the spare wheel would be a lot more expensive through the dealer should I decide at a later date to purchase one. I'm not sure what 'a lot more expensive' is though!

I got the space saver spare for the Altea through the parts department after the car arrived. I had requested the car be supplied with one when I ordered it but the dealer didn't bother. Took ages for them to get one, at first saying that a space saver didn't exist for the Altea. (Until I took in a picture of one in situ, kindly supplied by someone on here)
Make sure you order the smaller foam insert to hold the tool kit as well.

I think cmc has ordered a Leon 1.6 Stylance (same as me). Iwould be curious to know the price also.

The wheel itself is I belive £38.54 onc VAT. Does not include a tyre.

 

[dlever]

depending on the model

wheel itself £39.55 or £59.83 retail
wheel with tyre £135.98 or £173.68 retail

 

[SpareMan]

To clarify
For a 1.6 Stylance here the space saver is 1K0 601 027 F 03C @ £33.66 + VAT


should be able to shop around for a better tyre price

I would like to think so. £100 for 1 16" wheel is a little steep! How can they only charge £35 when you order it as an option? I feel an e-mail to SEAT customer service coming on!

Because they take the air compressor and that puncture repair aerosol out, to subsidise (spelling?) it.
