[billybones1]

Hi all 

just bought a 2019 Q5 s line 2.0 diesel.

There is no jack just a puncture kit and was just wondering if this is audi policy not to put one in the car from new, before i make enquirys from the main dealer i bought it from

Cheers Bill

Hi there,a lot of cars come without a spare wheel and jack etc,when I bought my A3,I bought a saver wheel from a company called the tyre men supplied with Jack and wheel nuts etc,Dave Wise

Hello Bill,

No space-saver spare wheel = no jack or wheel brace.

Thanks both for your reply’s 

its good to know that there aren’t these parts before I query it with Audi dealer and make a fool of myself. It is what it is but that’s not to say I agree with it and I’m sure that many others don’t either- but thanks for your prompt responses

Hi Bill,some cars don't give you a jack,but the contact I gave you do supply a jack with saver wheel,however definitely  ask dealer they may sort it for you DW

Thanks Bill,

Well yes, it reassuring to know there isn’t anything missing, but it isn’t so reassuring to know that any puncture = ruined tyre. I changed our non-Audi a couple of years ago, and the first thing I did was to source a space saver spare wheel and the associated tools. Yes, I could have gone to a specialist company who would have supplied me with the full-optional-kit at unhappy-wallet prices, but I chose to search eBay for the individual items at a much lower cost. 

Just Incase it helps. ( does anybody know why Incase always defaults to a capital I?). 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

I suspect your computer believes "incase" (as one word) to be a name or proper noun, though it should actually be two words "in case". Do you have Incase listed in the computer dictionary by chance? If so, try deleting it.

Thanks Cliff, 

Now that’s food for thought, on the never too old to learn theme. I’ve always written ‘in case’ as Incase ( without the capital I) from the days when I had hair. 
So are you saying that’s incorrect, and it should be written as ‘in case’, and if so, is that anything to do with an Americanism, or the pitfalls of an ill informed Welshman!? No probs. either way, since  I’m now offence-proof. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Two words I'm afraid Gareth, not one, and it's definitely not an Americanism.

It's odd how simple slips become ingrained. For example I used to be able to spell accomodate without a thought, but now I have to look it up every time because I double the "m", single the "c", or substitute an "a" for an "o" or various permutations of the three.

Well, fancy that!

Many thanks Cliff. Great shame you weren’t able to be one of the S. Wales’ valley academics who got me into this bad habit. 
I like the ingrained bit - this certainly has been exactly that with me over too many decades to recall. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
