Hello, with regard to the space saver wheel debate, please see below pictures of my boot floor before and after (5686-1) modifications.
I have just bought a 2021 T Roc R line 1.5TSi that was VW stock, so I could not specify a spare wheel kit. It came with an inflation kit, the foam support for it and the jack and tool parts. The jack and wheel brace was just floating around inside the black bag in the wheel well banging and crashing about !
I much preferred the spare saver wheel option, so after much research obtaining the VIN of a car with said item I contacted VW for the part numbers for that VIN and not my car's VIN. Please refer to the 14-20-2021 image below but the parts you need to do this are as follows:
Wheel I used was the 5Q0 601 027 BT but others may fit as well. Has to be a T125/70 R18 99M with a PCD 112mm x 3.5J x 18H2 with ET25.5. This part number fits all these requirements.
A certain auction site sold me a near brand new one with a Continental tyre for £75 delivered.
The foam tool kit parts are W5G0 012 115 AF bottom foam and W5G0 012 115 AD top foam.
The strap that hold them together is W5G0 867 749
The locknut the holds the wheel to the floor pan is W3G0 803 899 E
Small push button that holds the bottom foam part to the floor using the threaded screw already part of the boot floor is WN 908 713 01
All came to £36 from VW parts dept. so the whole job was around £110 for a space saver wheel and normal tool kit option that has still allowed me to use the lower extra capacity boot floor option. Needless to say I am very happy with the result. WV initially quoted me around £450 to retro purchase the inflator kit for the above when buying the car.
One caveat though, Obviously caution pays when purchasing wheels and tyres on a certain auction site. Ensure that you are buying a good straight and true rim with a tyre that is not worn, damaged or ancient ! Although hopefully it will never need using and speed obviously will be limited to 50mph.
