• Have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with a torque
wrench as soon as possible by your authorized Audi dealer or a qual ified service station.
• With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel bolts are correctly
tightened at a torque of 90
ft lb (120 Nm).
• If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to
turn while changing a tire, they should be replaced before you check
the tightening torque.
• Replace the flat tire with a new one and have it installed on your
vehicle as soon as possible. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then, drive with extra care and at reduced speeds.
& WARNING
• If you are going to equip your vehicle with tires or rims which
differ from those which were factory installed, then be sure to
read the information =>
page 307, "New tires and replacing tires

injuring anyone in the vehicle.
• Always store damaged wheel, jack and tools securely in the
luggage compartment. Otherwise, in an accident or sudden
