V60 spare wheel problem solved
I have a V60 D2 and was concerned about no spare wheel. I contacted my local Volvo dealer and now have a space saver spare wheel, jack and tools located under the flap and secured with straps with the wheel in the wheel bag it was supplied in. I don't have the under tray any longer but that's fine.
I understand some floor pans are slightly different so you should try before you buy, total cost £150 All credit to the group service manager at hidden borough Volvo who went out of his way to help. Last edited by Brusk57; Oct 20th, 2013 at 19:19. Reason: Title change |

Hello!
Would be interested to see some photos as to how this works/what has been done to secure the spare wheel as I have had a few customers ask about this, but with no official word from Volvo have struggled to give a safe/secure option. Regards Marc |

Yes please...pics required!!!
I'm thinking of buying a V60 early next year but only if I can get a spare wheel under the boot floor. Seems to be a bit of uncertainty about whether this is possible!! TIA |

Hi, photo of my set up. Would prefer to have something to strap / hold wheel in position so if anyone has any suggestions ....
Hope it's helpful. ps this is a july 12 v60, some older versions may not have as much space below the boot floor. Apparently you need to look for a 1inch 'ridge' near the back seats?? If you have a flat boot there should be enough space. |

I have old underlay which is below it so once the boot floor is closed it's secure under the floor. There is possibility of a little side to side / even less front to back movement. Ideally I'd like to do something so there can be no movement but I am pretty sure the electrical stuff is all a safe distance from the wheel.
I'm surprised as a dealer you can't get good support from Volvo on this issue, it must be a deal breaker for some buyers? |

For info the part kits I ordered were
31316306 - wheel brace, jack 31373123 - wheel & bag all for under £140 from Moray Palmer at Strathmore in Perth. The part numbers that are essential are 31317716 - jack 31381637 - brace 31317980 - wheel & tyre but I don't know if they can be ordered alone? |

I have brought it up with Volvo when we have had in dealer training. We have another round coming up soon so I will broach the subject again pointing towards this thread.
Thanks |
