Fixing spare wheel

Jan 30, 2005 2 Replies

I have '89 Audi 100 2.3E Avant (caravan) with LPG conversion. LPG tank is now where spare wheel used to be, and I now put spare wheel in another position, beneath the cover on the left (driver) side in the trunk.



My problem is that now I can not secure spare wheel, and it makes noises on a bumpy road. There is a drawing in a Haynes manual, very small, not usable, but it seems that there is something holding it in place.



Can anyone take a photo, and post URL, and perhaps give me a part No so that I can make or look for that part?


Yvan, How are you at reading Russian? See:

and look upthe part number. I make extensive use of bungee cords that I can buy for cheap at the local hardware store when I need to keep things from rattling around in the trunk - like my socket set, my tool kit, stuff I need for work, etc. Right now things are kept stationary by 3 sets of work boots, winter coveralls, extra winter clothing, tool bag, snow brush, etc. etc. etc. - it's all pressure-fit in.

I fixed spare wheel with a spunge placed between spare wheel and cower, but it looked like small part on a drawing, and I wanted to look as original part :-)

Thanks for your help.
