Locking Wheel Nuts

[Barmaid]

I need new tyres on my Audi A4 sport Unfortunately I do not have my locking wheel nut thing. Any ideas?

I am sure that your local Audi dealer, or any other tyre fitting depot would be able to help.

Nip into your local ATS and ask them.

...and it would be a good idea to get a suitable wheelnut/wheelbolt key anyway.....you may get a puncture out in the wilds and be stuck there for days with no mobile signal and ...........

The tyre center will have fittings to remove any type of locking wheel nut. They don't need yours, though it's a good idea to get a new one in case you need to change a wheel.

Thanks all. My kind friend has sorted me out. Sorry I went into a blind panic because I thought I had left it at my old house (and thats a whole other story).

The bloke at Kwik Fit just shook his head at me...........

bhg481 - So anyone who fancies relieving me of my alloys , can just go and purchase said tool for the purposes of ?

It certainly looks like it, bazile. What really bugs me is that when I bought my car I sent away for an extra locking-wheelnut key (just in case) and it cost me £20+.

Kwik Fit Barmaid? What else did they tell you that you urgently needed?

I used this company when I last purchased a car that was not supplied with the key by the previous owner. You just send them a photo of the locking wheel nut with the vehicle details and they source the correct key.

It is cheaper than paying to have the old locking nuts removed and buying a new set.
