I took delivery of Sport Line 80x in February , it came with towing eye, locking wheel nut, hook for wheel caps, and Charging Lead.
no Warning triangle ,first aid kit or tyre sealing kit or compressor is this correct? i would have thought a warning triangle etc should be supplied as standard equipment, or am i expecting to much, your comments much appreciated.

Don't think any VAG cars come with a warning triangle or first aid kit when delivered in the UK as it's not required by law, unlike some countries on the continent where it is. In those markets they generally are included as standard, although I would think the pricing in those markets reflects the different bits that are included as standard.

We did however get one in my wife's Merc C Class estate when we bought that new in 2015 (still got it as well).

Absence of the tyre repair kit might be because the tyres have seal inside technology? Worth adding your own compressor if you're concerned about it, but my experience of getting a nail in a tyre with the seal inside was pretty positive - it kept me mobile for at least a week before I eventually bit the bullet and had to get it repaired. Cost me nothing though as my local Kwikfit repaired it for free. Most Skoda dealers will tell you that the seal inside tyres can't be repaired, but this isn't true, they can be in exactly the same way as any normal tyre, it's just a bit more messy for them to do so because of the layer of gunk on the inside that has to be scraped away.

As above - warning triangle and first aid kit are not required by law in the UK, so you generally don’t get them as standard. However some dealers throw them in as a nicety. I bought a Skoda triangle off eBay for £8 and have an Aldi first aid kit that I had in my previous car.

You don’t get jack, compressor or tyre seal on cars with self seal tyres. But you can always get your own if you want to for peace of mind.
