From other vids, I think you need to inflate with the Audi inflator. More powerful inflators can result in unequal tire inflation ( tread seems to align with a side versus being centered). Thanks for the vid. Should be required viewing for Audi owners to prevent surprises.

Thanks buddy , your video is a life saver , got my first flat after running just 200kms and your video prevented me from messing things up , PS in Pakistan , the alligator clip is kept in front - now the only thing left is how to put the tool box back , forgot to take a photo when taking things out :)

If your car came equipped with anti-theft bolts, the tool (and the 4 standard bolts that got replaced by the anti-theft ones) are in a grey plastic box in the frunk. There’s usually another alligator clip in there.

Interesting. But I think a spare wheel which doesn't come pre inflated makes even less sense than a tire repair kit.

I think the spare should be placed on the front axle only. So in such case you would have to replace one of the front tires with the spare, and then take that front tire and swap it with the flat tire on the rear.

You missed a step, bud. Because the Etron is AWD, the AWD needs to be disabled and put into FWD. Says it in your manual. If you have a spare tire on your Etron and you do not disable the AWD, you will destroy your AWD drive train. To disable the AWD, a fuse has to be replaced with a spare tire fuse. That is why I watched this video. Hoping to watch where this fuse is and replaced. So in this case, since a spare tire fuse was not used, the car needs to be towed anyway.

Always make sure to have a flat on the Audi when you are not in a hurry to get somewhere. What a ridiculously convoluted, time-consuming process!

Great video, on my 2023 VW ID.4 it doesn’t have a spare,and I already got my first flat that ruined the tire, do you know where I can buy the collapsible spare tire for it? Thank you in advance.

Probably the dealership, but perhaps a non collapsible spare can fit. Junkyard or Facebook Marketplace might have one.

I would not recommend torquing the bolts off or on while the car is raised. These roadside jacks are flimsy.

I replaced the wheels and tires on my ETRON as soon as a got it. The shop used hydraulic hand jacks with spacers on the lift points. Worked fine. Do recommend using the tire change mode and don't forget to reset the TPMS

Thanks, but unfortunately, needle nose pliers will scratch the wheel because of the angle of the pliers. I have tried it all. Pliers, screwdrivers, the little metal curly q looking tool that sometimes cones with Euro cars. Nothing will work without scratching except the black alligator tool. Thanks for watching as always. Much appreciated.

Does the factory supply a factory torque wrench? As long as you have it as tight as a human can tighten it you will be just fine. If using an impact make sure to not over tighten.
