Are Audi wheel bolts "self tightening?"

[Robert W Obrien <rwo@u.arizona.edu>]

As above. This is what the tire monkey told me after he had to air-wrench
the bolts off my 5kt. I had just broken:
1 "O-Ratchet" ratchet.
The VAG OEM wrench.
1 cheap taiwan ratchet.
Large spider wrench from girlfriend's Chev.
Still, I could not get the bolts off. I just wanted to R&R the front
brakes, having bought the parts for same. By this time, I thought about
getting a Snap-On breaker, but what the hey.
I guess I'm stronger than I thought. But what about the guy who put those
"self-tightening" bolts ON??

Happy New Year. Guess I won't go to Phoenix tomorrow night for it. No 120
mile run with the brake pad warning on, thanks. Grrr. 
Annoyed with Audi Gods and tire monkeys....
