I know there isnt a spare wheel etc but I also carry a puncture repair kit, one of those that you stuff a rubber plug into the hole with a scewer, just for that (not ever happened yet) times, I think the system 'might' help if the puncture hole is/was too big for just the Audi repair solution.
It would be much easier to use the repair kit if the wheel was off the car, so, any idea which jack to order from Audi?

The advice i was given from the PORSCHE service department when i had a slow puncture was DO NOT USE the repair kit, just call breakdown if it is not driveable.. The sealant hardens on the inside of your RIM and has to be ground off.

Best use for the sealant, is in the nearest bin.

Bin it because it contains Silicone and buy the Holts water based version.

Also the plug kit from Amazon is very useful at fixing holes.

And much eaasier to plug the tyre if you can get the wheel off the car, hence the jack question :)

This stuff appears very good, I have it in my old Kawasaki with tubed tyres, I came to swap the rear wheel and couldnt get the tube out of the tyre due to a big nail through tyre and tube, I didnt even know it was there, if it will seal a tubed tyre it should be good on a car, even if you poor it in after the puncture? (they also do car stuff) :)
 
Arrived today, £35 complete brand new ebay, but VW part number :)
