I've got one - somewhere.  Could I find it a month back when my father broke
the key socket for his ovloV? Could I hell...

I tried some of the other bolts, most were way above the 115Nm listed for
the alloy wheels, one was over 180Nm. The car went straight to the dealer
who services it and was returned a couple of hours later with a new set of
locking bolts by a very contrite service manager.

Won't do him any good though, chances are now 90% that the next car is going
to be an A4 Avant.
