After reading 170 pages of Q7 related threads here I decided to present myself and post this thread.

I'm in Portugal and recently bought myself a 2007 Q7 3.0 Tdi with only 81.000km but within 2 days the engine light came up revealing a fault with #2 inlet manifold's throttle body (517€ bill) but when I lifted the rear hatch I saw the shape of a spare tire but no spare tire. What was supposed to lay there?

Thanks in advance

Thats the subwoofer sitting in the centre of a space saver spare wheel. The little box strapped in just left is the air pump to inflate it.

TIP: do not use the pump unless its an emergency, it wont take general use checking pressures or dealing with a slow puncture over and over.

Just went downstairs to see again and there's nothing in there, spare or basebox!

Mine has an inflatable spare. Will take a picture later and post.

My spare is missing but I'm planning to replace the wheels with the wider 18' double spoke.

Can anyone tell if the regular wheel fits in the spare wheel well?
