Chav Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Had a bloody puncture today. Got bolts off no problemo but could i get the wheel off - not a sniff. Mr Audi assist (aka the RAC) got it off using a very technical method - kick the fecker Apparently corrosion makes wheel stick and its common. Said they should use copper slip or something. grrr.. anyway Audi assist was there within 30 mins. (In the form of an RAC van). Tyre pressure monitors are fecking annoying btw. Doesn't give any indication of actual pressure, just a big flashing wheel that drives you nuts! - you can't turn it off if engine is running and so can't see fuel range remaining etc!! (I've had a slow puncture for a few days and the warning has been driving me crazy!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntW Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 had exactly the same problem changing a tyre on my old A4, ended up hitting it with the spare tyre to knock it loose. Glad it happened whilst I was changing it in the relative comfort of my driveway rather than in the rain on the hard-shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yeah had this problem as well when I stuck the RS4 replicas on, had to kick the crap out of mine before they'd shift... copious daubing of copperslip on the hub centre and they never stick now.

Chav Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I remember those wheels fondly. If they were conkers, they'd be twentysomethingers - I probably hit 20 odd kerbs with them. oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
