Spot on Martin, unfortunately said supplier allegedly gives a variety of different stories depending upon who he speaks to. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Poor service then in my eyes. If you have a pic Ill go out and compare it to the locking nuts on my twisted rims as you can buy a set separately from them but may be different? Defender puma dormobile camper

Here you go. Wrington's thought this was a standard nut and have asked for another photo tomorrow.

Warrington's thought they looked like L322 nuts, but that was subject to him actually seeing a side on picture after the nut has been removed, which we will do tomorrow.

Although no doubt tomorrow we will find there isn't a wheel brace Confused 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Catherine,

Quick pic (apologies for quality) below of the standard and original 18" boost nuts.

As I have a spare set of rusty nuts , I can send one to Warrington's if that helps them.

Cheers
Mark

Mark is the black one the one for the new wheels?

I assume it is?

Spectrum have said this morning they are expecting us to have locking wheel nuts in 2 weeks? 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

maybe not a ideal fix

but as last resort fit one longer wolf wheel stud to each hub and use standard lockers on the longer stud ?

Wringtons have suggested the possible only solution would be a longer stud.

Yes the rusty black nut is for the 18" boost. Silver is for a standard wheel.

Who are spectrum ?
