Spare Wheel
« on: 03 February 2018, 23:46 »
Hi Guys, This is my first post on the forum even though i have had a 2013 White GTI PP for almost 3 years. I ve gone and px it in against a 2017 Tornado red Clubsport :smiley: The question is on my PP came with a spare wheel however the CS has Dynaudio and a subwoofer so no spare wheel. The question is if i keep the spare wheel from my PP or get hold of a new spare wheel, will the subwoofer fit in it??? Thanks for the help!

Hi and welcome to the forum.Good choice of new car!.I thought the Clubsport had a spacesaver as standard but i may well be mistaken. :embarrassed:
My GTD has Dynaudio with the subwoofer in the boot and a space saver wheel.So i would imagine your GTI wheel would fit in ok if there isn't one.
PS.I know nothing.... :grin:

I thought the factory fit dynaudio sat inside the 18” spare wheel and the retro fit plug and play one removed the spare wheel?

The edition 40 clubsport should have come with a space saver too.

My dynaudio sub slots into the spare wheel, something doesn’t seem right here. Can you take a picture of it so we can have a look?

Wasn’t there a VW accessories retrofit version manufactured by Helix for the mk7 Golf that fitted in the spare wheel space, but you lost the spare wheel if you had it fitted? Maybe the Clubsport that the OP is buying has this fitted.

There’s one here for sale on eBay. The pictures show it in the spare wheel well with no spare wheel.

Yes, you loose the spare wheel completely with the Helix P&P.... it's quite a sizeable unit.

And if the car’s got the retro-fit Helix (or similar) sub, the tweeter speaker grilles in the A pillars are unlikely to have the Dynaudio logo on them.

Hi guys, it is definitely a dynaudio system it has the badging on the A pillars and sound amazing!  My suspicion is that the dealer has removed it for another car as they are the only owner of the car. It was registered March last year used as the managers car used for a few months got to just over 4000 miles and then stored until now. They also have another Tornado red this time 5dr DSG with less then 5k on it to for sale too! Going to speak to the dealer tomorrow and will point out take as it is as new and that as their own online advert states it comes with one it should have one! should pick it up at the weekend and will take some pictures for you. Thanks guys!
