The location of the Audi locking wheel nut
Your locking wheel nut key is probably where the manufacturer stored it if your car is new and you haven’t needed to remove the wheels yet. Typical locations are:
- a glove box
- With or underneath your spare wheel
- It could be in a different compartment.
- First aid kit, under the carpet, in each individual compartment, and in the bootcheck
- Check the seat pockets and underneath the seats under the driver’s or passenger’s seat.
- pocket for door cards
- middle console for storage
Some locking wheel nut keys are provided separately in a little plastic bag, while others are kept in a compact plastic box along with extra wheel nuts.
Try to recall the last time one of the wheels needed to be removed if you can’t find your locking wheel nut key. The mechanic had to remove the wheels if you had your car serviced or had parts like the brakes updated. Before you depart, it is usually wise to confirm the location of the item the garage has left for you. This could prevent you from having to spend time the following time hunting for it.
