C5 RS6 Battery Relocation

[imola]

Hi guys,

First time poster from the UK :)

I've recently purchased an Audi RS6 avant and i've joined a couple of forums in the UK.

Basically, over in the UK the battery is located in the tyre well meaning there is no spare!

I want to relocate the battery so i can keep a spare wheel in the car. The last thing i want is to be stuck on the hard shoulder with my family waiting for a recovery because the foam wont hold.

A couple of forums in the UK have directed me here, they've told me you guys need to have a spare wheel by law so you may be able to help with parts/ideas.

Can someone share some pics of their boot and battery position and any info on relocating would be brilliant!

TIA :)

Cheers dude :)

Does anyone know how what the larest size alloy wheel will fit in the well?

Car is at the bodyshop so can't check myself.

The Audi spare that comes with the car in N. America is un-inflated space saver spare in size 175/55-18 and they supply an 12V. air compressor to inflate it.

Thanks mate!

And you cant fit a full size spare in these cars either.

The spare tire tub was built for base models, without the larger size tires

Hmm, maybe a regular A6 wheel tire would be a great spare vesus the inflatable mini spare.

A6 wheel/tire combo will be too small for both the brakes, and overall size and cause driveline issues. The inflatable spare is sadly our option
