[s-cars] Stripped wheel bolt

Folks,

I've ordered a tap and noted the instructions to go slowly and use cutting oil.

I also have new bolts on the way.

If the tap doesn't clean up the threads, I will not try any further repairs to the hub. It will be a R&R. :)

By the way, I have a suspicion that a set of ECS bolts caused the problem. Never had an issue until I installed ECS bolts on the A4 and my C5 A6. Both subsequently have had this issue...and I do almost all of my own wheel mounting, with torque sticks and a proper torque wrench.

Best,

Lee
