oki traveling on the M4 last Tuesday, run over a screw and busted my rear passenger side tyre. Didnt realise it until i think there some funny noise came from the rear.... turn down my stereo and realise that the noise is very loud... pull over and yep.. the tyre was totally flat have been driving like that for a while so it ruin the tyre completely, luckily the rim is ak.... call peugeot assist, 10min after a road side assistant came. he cant do anything about it. the tow truck came 20min after that and tow it back to parramatta service. they put a temp one on and said 2-3 weeks wait for the new one to arrive, it going to cost me $250+ .... oki question, where can i get that little spare from and how much? coz really need it when similar thing happen because the 2 can is no use what so ever in this situation.

that's the exact situation that Peugeot sells their roadside assistance for.

I expect they have to order them in. Tell them to call Peugeot Concessionaires Australia and speak to Derek who's in charge of spare parts. He'll quote them the cost and then send it to your dealer if you're interested.

Does the spacesaver spare wheel fit in the car? If so, is there a fitting for it or does it just stow in the boot?

Please ignore my previous post, I was able to answer it myself by searching the forum.

Update: Reguarding the spare wheel, those part guys have no idea what i was talking about when i rang them up :rolleyes: , they insist that the thing dont exist :x . I rang peugeot and they gave me the order number , i go to them in person and just said "i want to order this one", and show them the order number, $64.69 not include GST now i just wait if they got the right thing (seem to be a bit cheap for a spare wheel

From another thread on the forum

Hi SarCC
I bought a spacesaver tyre and wheel from my Peugeot dealer. It took a couple of days to get into stock but it came as a "wheel" with tyre fitted on etc. Part nos are:
Wheel spare: PT5401G6
Tyre : WSD1
the total cost was Â£75.10. That was last year though.
I fixed the tyre in the boot by getting some elasticated luggage straps and fitting them criss cross over the tyre to the 4 lashing rings in the boot. Holds it fine and it provides a nice stable area to store breakable bits of shopping!!!!!!!
hope this helps
Liz

Are you sure that you've ordered the wheel and the tyre?

update on the space saver wheel: order came in today, just a metal rim no tyre fited :x so have to order a tyre from the local garage for $60 will get it by tommorow. so all up for the 65+60 = $125 for the space saver spare wheels.

(during my search for the space saver wheel, i went to wreckers and ask them about it, they stock one for nissan $50 measure it up everything look ok but when i got home the 4 holes for the nuts is off my 5mm

so it wont go in... anyone want a nissan space saver spare wheel, come complete with tyre ofcourse

yeah, Peugeot has a strange PCD of 108, normal cars usually have either 100 or 104. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

May be you can try to sell it back to the wrecker ...... and hopefully they will pay you back the full price ...... hehe

oki got a call, they said the tyre take a while to come... so i cancel it - got them to remove the tyre from the nissan (a new bridgestone) and fit it to the peugeot rim. Take it for a test drive... 80-90km/h couldnt feel the different. I am happy

finnally got myself a space saver spare wheel, fit neatly in the boot with plenty of room left for other knickknacks... cheers

Inquired at the dealer about a space saver for the cc and was quoted a saver wheel and tyre that fits a 206 Peugeot for A$400.00 plus GST.
A bit steep !!!
