To replace the spare wheel on the Volkswagen Polo, open the boot to access the components inside the luggage compartment. Lift the covering at the base of the boot to reach the spare wheel underneath.

Alongside it, you will find the other tools needed for wheel replacement, such as a jack and a socket wrench. You can then lift the car using the jack, inserting it into the corresponding rail and loosening the bolts that secure the wheel.
