Hi, just bought a '12 C300 and there seems to be a lot of extra room in the spare tire compartment. Can you post pictures of yours?

Does a tool kit or first aid kit normally come with these?

It's normal. I have lots of room also. The first aid kit should be in the compartment on the left by the rear tail light

Mine is full with a regular size wheel and tire. No phony spare for me.

The spare tire well was built to hold a full size spare tire and usual other stuff but most were shipped with the compact spare. (Regular wheel spare was extra cost item) . That's why all of the space

There is also room on the right side to fit a battery, although I don't know what models have a rear mounted battery. C63 maybe?


I found a cheap plastic toolbox that fits the spot pretty well. I think I got it a Walmart. It must have been when I was getting some Mobil1.

Just for information if you guys shouldn't know.
MB offers a nice trunk floor cover for 204 Sedans/Coupes w and w/o rear battery.

That looks expensive lol. Where is your spare?

Minuszeit

No spare, just tirefit kit.

Hi!
Is it possible to buy this cover thru the web international?
If yes, can you please provide the webadress?
I tried to google it, but no luck...

Is the any "trunk organizer" that is custom made for this compartment?

Cant understand why MB wasted this amount of space...

Your spare tire area looks like a nice place to store items to keep them from sliding around in the trunk. Any idea what part numbers are needed for the tirefit kit and have you ever used it in an emergency? I cannot seem to find the full kit for sale anywhere. Also, I wonder how the cover w/rear battery looks...because that is how my car is set up.

The extra space in the spare tire well is for the flat full-size tire that the small spare replaces. If it didn't fit in the well, you'd have to carry the flat inside the car, or in the trunk itself- either of which might be filled with passengers and/or luggage.

I was thinking of removing the spare altogether and purchasing the Tirekit as mentioned above for a few reasons:
-shave some weight
-my gf car does not have a spare, it has the same emergency kit
-I have like 6 different roadside assistances that I pay for in one way or another (insurance, wheel warranty, mbrace....). Might as well use them if I need to.

HI, I have the same kit, but clips were broken, can you help me with finding clips which attach jack and air pump kit to trunk body, please?

if it is used you may not have a spare key/a first aid kit/an owners manual & they may have even take the Becker auto pilot/GPS out Usually the extra space next to the spare is where the battery would have gone, it is now located under/behind the cabin air filter cover...so don't worry about the extra space in the trunk...enjoy it to put you own tool/car maintenance stuff....

My 2013 C350 Coupe has the auxiliary battery in the trunk. Any car with the Eco Start/Stop feature should also have them.
