    What a pain and you must be pulling your hair out, this is last thing you could do with!! Yes good idea to get them all remove/refitted then check them yourself when back. Are you getting Audi to check for the clanking noise as well?

    Yup certainly am!
    After failing with the electric gun, I have ordered a breaker bar so I'll give it another go over the weekend. Otherwise yes Audi will sort it out along with a few other niggles. They've already identified it somewhat but just did not have the time to whack the wheel off and potentially brakes.

    They did say I could bring it in any day this week first thing as it's half-term so fairly quiet in the workshop but I ran out of time

    Will update if I get it done over the weekend along with the culprit!

    It seems I never got around to updating this thread.
    The breaker bar also failed and in the end I admit defeat and went to the dealership who mentioned it was one of the most difficult jobs they had removing the wheels. They replaced the nuts all round and tightened to manufacturer

    The noise... it was not my imagination but in actual fact a wheel weight that had some how managed to slip inside between the tyre and alloy. And so everytime I went round it dropped making that noise. Audi resolved it without any charge especially as it was a first for them :- )
