If you have the tyre sealant kit, there is no need for a jack and wheel tools, at least, that's what the car makers say
.. In reality the sealant kit will only repair 10% of punctures. The rest of the time it will result in an abandoned journey and recovery back to home where you have to sort out the flat tyre yourself.
My advise is ditch the sealant kit and buy yourself wheel changing tools and a spare wheel, even a space saver gets you where you want to go. Takes about 20mins. to change a flat tyre and no waiting for the recovery man. Your are now back on the road and carrying on with your day.

Here is a link to a 2nd hand space saver that has the same part number as my the space saver in my 2007 S3.
I had the same thoughts as you as our TT did not have a spare. So I bought the same wheel again after trying out my S3 wheel and you can get it under the TT boot carpet.
If you note the part number, you can research other sellers and some will include the tool kit and polystyrene "tool case"
Cheers
