VW products (at least Volkswagen and Audi) usually have a screwdriver on the spare tire well that have a detachable blade that has one flat side and one Phillips side.
I previously had one in my Golf 4 and now have the same in my A3 and have been using it for years, its pretty durable and the heads are the “best” size to have a one-fit-for-all on those cars.
Unfortunately, my A4 only did have the handle of the screwdriver and not the blade so !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at 6€ for a pair of two (it’s also possible to take 5 for ~12€).
This model is a 8z0012287 (8Z being the code for the Audi A2) but other product code for almost the same product exists.
It arrived in France in only 12 days and i am quite satisfied with the quality, not sure that they are original but they seems to be, those being in F AW-Volkswagen branded bags and China made might not be the same version sold in other markets (some are marked as being made in Germany) but its still good enough for a 3€ including postage screwdriver.
While it feels that the blade has more play on the handle than on my more than 20 year old part from my A3 it’s nothing excessive .
I tried to bend the blade with my bare hands and its not budging and also tried forcing on the plastic and its also not moving at all.
Greatly recommended if you don’t have a “resident” screwdriver in your car

I had a 2001 Golf that I drove for 15 years, put 224k miles on the clock, and never used that screwdriver once. Sadly, my Golf was totaled by a drunk driver in 2016.

When I used the emergency tyre compressor on my car (for the first time since it was made in 2004!) I found that the tool needed to remove the valve and squirt in the tyre sealant if you need it was missing.
New one cost a few euro from China and arrived in a few days.

Mine saved me multiple times, last time i didn’t tighten enough the intake hose to the throttle body and it blew at WOT and the engine stalled and didn’t start back until a put it back .
And i also use it most of the time when wrenching as it is perfectly sized for most couplers and screws on the engine bay and also to pop trim parts .

It’s a good reminder that i should give a look at what’ s missing in my A4 spare kit because there are a few empty spots on it :)
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

The tool set for my 83 XT200 is complete... aside from the JIS screwdriver!
