Audis have fasteners from around 5 Nm to 450 Nm.  No way is one wrench
going to cover that range.  The two 'biggies' are the harmonic balancer
bolt and the hub nuts.  If these are things that you will always have
done professionally, then you don't need to bother with the very top
end.  It's a good idea to have a wrench covering 110 Nm in the car to
retighten wheel bolts.
