Bit of a problem in the Alhambra Ecomotive the other night following a motorway incident. Two flats, no spare wheel obviously thanks to the DPF siting.
Used the puncture Goo on one in the dark before I saw the other was going down. Luckily I got to relative's house and left it overnight!
So two new tyres later, £40 for new repair fluid, car off the road until the tyre repair man could get out to me after work.
Interesting lesson in the need for a space saver at least since I'll hope not to have another double incident.
Now the question. Where do I get a space saver? The originals are 16" steel wheels by the way.
Readers might also like to know that none of 6 VAG dealers I rang today stock the repair fluid! It has to be ordered because it has a 2 year shelf life only. Do 7 seat Tourans never have punctures? We should be told!
