Ahh okay, that sounds like a puncture. :thumbsdown:

A missing locking wheel nut key is a pain in the arse. :bash:

Stupid question - and I hope this doesn't come across as patronising - have you found the hidden compartment at the very back of the boot floor in the B8, above the fuel tank? As you look at the boot floor, the front two thirds is the spare wheel well, and the rear third flips up.

He found that compartment and he posted that in his other thread Ian.

Another non-patronising question for OP. Have you looked everywhere in the car. Ie the ash tray, glovebox even in the door pockets. Sometimes the tyre people leave the locking nut in some strange places.
Emptied the car checked EVERYWHERE mate! definitely

Could be that the tyre bead got damaged when the tyres were removed for refurbishing the wheels?
I thought this today Sam. Theres no telling till I get that bloody wheel off, and even then, its proving it isn't it. Gonna get up nice and early and try and get a locking nut sorted and take it from there. Tell you something now though, that Porsche dealer is going to hate me by the end of the week lol

Yes the Audi locking wheel nut keys all have a letter stamped on them so there aren't that many different keys.
Audi will have all the keys in their workshop and will be able to tell you which key you need and will be able to remove the nut on the flat wheel for you until you get your own key.
