Hi There,
I've just had the car serviced at my local Main Dealer and my tyre repair kit is out of date. The cost of a new one is over £300, is it possible to buy these anywhere else?
Many Thanks

Cheaper to buy a spare alloy and tyre, can use it more then once then, or even a space saver, audi assist (rac) even confirmed this when they came out to me on Saturday, they said the tyre filler was a crap waste of time, hopefully i'll never find out ! He did however mention that they use (in worst case scenarios) a tyre repair kit meant for BMW motorbikes, sure he said there were about £15-20
Hope you get the audi one cheaper if you go down that route
all the best.....

I think they must have added a 0 by mistake if you go on ebay they are going for £30 and it seems VW & Skoda use the same sealent

Any old tyre weld will do the trick.

I had my car in for a service last week, my tyre repair kit was out of date, they quoted £38 for a new one. Don't see where they got £300 from?? You can get them on eBay with the compressor for £30

Be sure to read the label before you buy such kits because most are only suitable for 16" wheels.
