Wagon spare wheel tool kit holder

[Pete the Pomme]

Is there an alternative holder for the toolkit (jack, wheel brace, etc) that goes inside the spare wheel?
I ask because if the standard kit holder is removed, the boot floor can be lowered by about 50mm. Not much, granted, but every little helps.

I'd add pics but not sure how to, sorry.

Can’t you just leave the tools inside wheel?

A Golf one might work.

I could but they'd just rattle around and scratch the spare alloy wheel.

Get a foam and plug in.

I'll look into it. I didn't know the golf had that setup, thanks. 😊

Golf one is just a foam with places.

As we have a full size spare we are unable to raise and lower the floor.
However, if you use a space saver, you will be able to utilise this functionality, as per the following Passat Review: YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY7KTK9dxHs)

Check out the clip around the 40sec mark, it shows how is can be lowered and raised and displays the space saver kit...

Now I'm on my PC, I can upload pics.

Here is a pic of my boot floor in the lower position with a full size spare wheel. I just had to remove the tool kit and a couple of plastic trim pieces that stop the floor going into the lower position.

Now just need to get hold of the foam kit holder that goes inside the spare wheel

Jesus Christ! Did you have to break the trim off to do that? I mean, I knew this could be done on European models with space saver spares. But I'd much rather have a full size matching spare than a bee's penis' worth of extra space.

Haha, no, definitely not broken. They just unclip.

OK cool :)

So I did this too. Dropped the floor and made even MORE space. Our full size pram and Great Dane now fit together (albeit without the cargo cover and net divider). Popped the clips back in after I dropped the floor so I don't lose them.

For the tools, I wrapped them in a towel without them touching each other (so no clinking noises) and then into a spare black drawstring bag I had in the garage and popped it into the the left side little storage compartment thingy.

Nice.

It's always good to get an extra inch or so for free. 😎

it's inside the spare wheel and holds all the bits and bobs u speak off.

Not hard to make your own custom one, all you need is the bits you need to store, some plastic bags, cling wrap, and a can of expanding foam...

But a factory one is neater.
