Are you looking for a spare wheel??


The cars came as standard with a repair kit + compressor. If you want a space saver you need to get onto your dealer, which will cost a fortune, or pick one up on eBay!

Not all of them. Some of them had a spare wheel as standard (I have a spare wheel)
I think it might have been an option or something on the older cars.

I'm pretty sure all the ones that were hire cars etc have one. Mine is a bog standard car but has pass airbag disconnect and spare wheel as per hire car requirements

Mines a 55 plate TDI Sport.

Came with Passenger airbag disconnect as standard, but no spare wheel. (For all i know, someone specced it that why, im not sure)
I bought a space saver off eBay as soon as i bought the car.

I have had a look on ebay and have only found one for £60 brand new from dealer is £160 and new alloy is £230!

Yeah, i paid £50 off eBay. They aren't very common since they weren't a standard issue as such.

Ive now sold my Leon, and sold it with the repair kit.
The spare 18" wheel is in my garage still.

If you are interested then email me at [email protected].

Not sure how much postage would be though :s

my 58 Plate came with a spare Space saver which i have removed because it was quite heavy!


Replaced with a Canister full of tyre repair + Weight saving

When I bought my 1st Leon[new] back in 06 it just had a repair kit...was told it was a weight saving idea to keep mpg up[sales bo***cks]
All very well until ya come to have to use the said repair kit...fu*k'n useless...put the 'gunk' in the punchured tyre and it just pi**ed out of the hole on inflation and had to call the AA to get me home

Ripped into my dealer afterwards...they let me have a spacesaver for £100...made sure my new FR had a s/saver
