Compatible space saver

Paddy Field · Dec 13th, 2012, 11:04

New boy XC60 owner saying hello.
My car has the compressor/sealant package, and I thought I'd go belt and braces and get a space saver. I've been quoted £199.20 for the Tempa wheel and £84.20 for the jack etc. So in looking at alternatives, this website lists other manufacturers wheels with the same PCD and centre bore: http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volvo...008%20-%20%29/
So if I choose something with an offset in the 50-60mm range (Jaguar 18" space saver springs to mind) I should be ok.
Can anyone see an obvious flaw in this?

Got a Tempa spare wheel now, after my experience with the sealant, I will always have a spare from now on.

Cost me £282.96 from the dealer - wheel, jack, foam wheel insert thingy.
Car is a lease vehicle, so I will either use it if I have another XC60 or sell it on afterwards.

Volvo part numbers if it helps:-
V031317980 - Spare wheel
V031317715 - Jack
V031329769 - spacer ( goes under spare in boot to stop it squeaking )
V031362446 - foam insert ( to put jack, towing eye etc in )

My XC60 is a MY12 D3 AWD, check that the floor is "shaped" for a spare wheel.

You could try a salvage / breakers yard and probably get these genuine parts unused for much less...

Have you tried asking here: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=42

I did think about that thanks, but thought this might be a bit more XC60 specific.

Sorry what I meant was you can get a discounted tempa wheel from the dealers who "lurk" there!

I had a quote for the wheel and other items that was very good, only reason I did not buy in the end was because I managed to get one included as part of the car deal.
