Puncture sealant/ space saver

Where can I buy a new can of genuine Audi puncture sealant? What price should I expect?

Also, what spec do I need for a spacesaver wheel and tyre? Any suggestions for supply/ cost?

Now I'm back on the road with my new wheels I'd like a back-up for the next time I have a puncture so I don't have to be towed home on a flat-bed...
 
I've never used the goo nor do I plan to do so in such unfortunate situations. It seems to be a complete mess. I do however have a space saver (not the A2 OE collapsable) under the false boot floor. It was from another audi with the same 5x100 pdc and that works just as well and I picked it up for £30 from a tyre shop.
 
Popular opinion amongst tyre fitters is that a tyre repaired with the gunk is then scrap, so it really is a last ditch attempt.

A new bottle of goo is about £25 from a dealer.

To install a spacesaver, budget on around £80 for the wheel and then about another £40 for the bracket and hand wheel, although you can useadjustable cable ties and the luggage eyes at a pinch (the straps you use on saplings to tie them to stakes are particularly good

Cheers
