Facelift missing Spare wheel and tyre woes

[veltror]

In March, i went from a 190 Diesel to a TFsi40 Petrol Avant Black edition. I got a very good deal on ite but I must admit I was a little irritated at some of the blatent cost cutting that took place. The missing Spare wheel was one of them, I figured I will buy one to keep in the garage. Since the start of the Zombie Apocalypse I have not done any long trips so I forgot about this...until Thursday.

The MMI complained about tyre pressure loss so a quick walk around showed a screw with washer... embedded int he tyre, losing air but not at an alarming rate, the car came with tyre insurance.. so Kwik Krap ordered the tyre for next day.. I turn up and lo and behold it is a different Pirelli the tyre fitter helpfully suggested its the same size so what the problem... They reorder the tyre and it gets fitted, This afternoon I see another MMI warning on another rear and lo and behold that has a gash in the sidewall....

I have searched through the threads and can see I need three/four parts
Bracket 8W0802715C
Nut 8W0803899
Wheel 8W0601027c

Does that look right? If anybody has done this could they cjeck that I am right? I have not managed to find a part number for the tool Tray that I will now need so any part number or model that I could accquire one from in a breakers would be gratefully appreciated. Two scrap tyres in less then 4000 miles...

Don't forget that the removal of the spare etc is not a cost measure it's emissions legislation
See also the 40 litre standard tank now
I speced the free big tank and boom smashed the emissions cap we have

It's all about the weight for the tests

Fitting a spare isn't too much of an issue.

Yes Audi are not alone with this and it is extremely rare for a new car to have an actual spare wheel these days. There is this company https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/product-category/lighting/space-saver-wheels/audi/audi-a4-1/ but I don't know if they are suitable for your A4, you would need to contact them

Or you can always put a spare from B9. It is the same. The facelift here is sold with spare tire.

Hi Veltror. I've just joined and have been looking to install a space-saver spare wheel in my 2019 A4 Avant (B9). Here is the part number for the polystyrene/foam tool tray: 8W0012100E it comes with tools too! Got mine from Ebay "Bargainhunter 3210" for £54.99 & bought a brand new wheel from "dalin_7124", again from Ebay cost £139. I still do not have the bracket, and, I believe, I will need a plastic tray cover, part number 8W0012116B. I would appreciate any further comments from members to confirm all parts needed to complete the job!
Regards,
Chris
