Replacing the boot floor

feltorange · May 24th, 2016, 18:57

Hi
Apologies if this has been covered before. I am considering installing the two level floor in my 2013 CC to accomodate a temporary spare wheel. The installation instructions from Volvo Partshop seem straightforward enough.
Has anyone any experience with the removal of the existing floor and its easiness or otherwise.

Many thanks in anticipation

I have put in the flex floor. As far as I remember it was very easy. However, I understand that there are two floor pans for the V40 - depending upon model (routing of the exhaust, I understand). One will take a full sized spare and the other wont. I cannot be too sure but I would check before making any changes.

I made the change two weeks ago. My particular V40 CC D2 does not require anything taking out apart from the boot floor and the compressor / gunk holder. I then dropped in the space saver spare wheel and standard Volvo boot adapter kit. Five minutes!
Volvo Partshop (http://www.volvopartshop.com/) were very helpful with handling queries during my days of uncertainty.
I got the spare wheel on ebay, loads of them on there.
All done for £130.

I'm pretty sure that none of them can take a full-size spare.

The 1.6 d2 I believe only has a single exhaust, not sure about the later ones.
I have a d3, with a twin exhaust so I had to get the false floor and a spare wheel cover. I'll see if I can find the part numbers when I'm at work tomorrow.
It was one of the easiest jobs ever though!
