How do i take out the spare wheel - 2005 Citroen C2

I can't say for the model you looked at but it is increasingly common to equip a car with a puncture repair aerosol instead of a spare wheel.

It is a situation that has evolved. First there was a move to aluminium wheels but using a steel wheel as a spare saved cost.
Folk wouldn't want to drive far with an odd wheel so if the wheel wasn't to be used very often or for long why not use a narrower and lighter space and weight saving spare wheel good enough to get a car to the next tyre sales.

Once the idea of a spare wheel had morphed into that of an emergency wheel it was a short leap to deleting it altogether and replacing it with a method that will take most cars most of the time as far as the next tyre sales that also saves space and weight and expense.

If you want to know if the sales guy is spinning a yarn I suggest you check in the vehicle handbook for instructions of where the aerosol is located and how to use it.
Those aerosols, incidentally, are date stamped and should be replaced periodically.

The bar to lower the spare wheel is located under the back seat. The back seat is a 60/40 split seat and the bar is under the 60 longer seat. You need to pull the lever at the top of the seat near the head rest and lean it forward as far as it will go and then pull another lever at the base of the seat facing the door, Then lean that part of the seat forward to reveal the spare wheel lowering bar sitting in 2 clips. Take that bar to the back of the car and lift the tailgate. Just to the right of the latch that locks the tailgate in place is a hole to suit the bar. slide the bar all the way home and use the tyre lever to wind (anti clockwise)the spare wheel down. You're welcome.

The temporary spare is very narrow as will be the space available for storage. If you want an answer then I suggest you measure the storage compartment HEIGHT WIDTH AND LENGTH and come back and pose your question.
The first problem you will have is to get a wheel that will fit the car that is not too wide for the wheel storage area. If the available wheels are all too wide then you will will not be able to store a full size spare in the storage compartment. For that vehicle the available full size wheels in the correct bolt pattern will not be less than 6 or 6.5 inches wide.

Thank you for using FixYa,com.

First...... remove spare wheel cover..2 small plastic srewheads on the bottom of tire. open and pull gently on the tire cover
Second... Remove wheel nuts and there is your spare tire!

Their is a hole in the pannel below the tailgate you put the bar from the jack into it their is a chain holding up the spare wheel when you turn the bar the spare wheel lowers on the chain to the ground. Depending on the year of your Rodeo the bar may go under the pannel and not through a hole so check underneath behind the spare wheel and you will see how to turn it.

You will have to replace the mechanism and wire, a stock wheel works fine as a spare, they used to supply a stock wheel as standard before they invented the spacesaver spare.

Hi

Open the tailgate, lift the trunk carpet, to the right of the lock catch, you will see a nut.

Fit on the wheel brace, and wind anti clockwise and the spare should appear at your feet !

Good Luck !

open your tailgate and right in the middle in front of your tailgate catch pull the boot carpet back or there might be a little **** in the carpit when pulled back you should see a bolt head remove your wheel brace and apply to the bolt head turn antyclockwise you spare wheel should drop a you turn it,hope this helps.adrian

The spare wheel is located under the rear boot carpet.BUT some meganes do not come with a spare as its an optional extra when the car is purchased. If there is no spare, then a can of foam and a small compressor to repair and inflate the punctured tyre, should be fitted.
