My tool kit came with a spanner, 13mm one end and 10mm the other so you may be missing that or VW removed it for later models?

The tools slot into the sides of the plastic case and then it lives in the spare wheel and the rubber band with hooks on holds it in the place, the hooks attach to the holes in the spare wheels.

Thanks for the info.

No sign of a spanner…..still unsure where the other tools (I am presuming they are for the roof/manual operation if the electric fails) handles go.

If I get chance over the long weekend I'll get a picture of how mine is but I don't have the extra tools for the roof as mine in a manual roof.

That is how I managed to work it out but cheers for the photo.

The question about the roof tools is still open however …. it would be unlike the Germans not to have a storage place for them ?
