I bought an A4 Allroad (2021 Vorsprung model) 2 months ago which was a one owner dealer’s car. Tyres were almost all worn to the limit so decided to change all four. Unfortunately two of the locking wheel bolts are seized/significantly over-tightened and despite the fitters breaking two removal tools as well as stripping the locking wheel bolt adapter, they remain in place. They have given me contact details for a specialist ‘locking wheel bolt remover’ who I hope will sort the removal.
My questions are: should I be wary of the recommended ‘remover’? assuming the bolts can be removed, which locking wheel bolts might be recommended (McGard seem well regarded, however when I use a couple of suppliers’ checking facilities with my registration number, they claim not to have any to suit!). Thanks.

Thanks Gareth, my first port of call would have been the dealer, but they are 90 miles away from me! Not sure whether I can go to an alternative Audi dealership, presumably the warranty applies anywhere in the UK?
I have to say that the follow-up service from the (Audi) dealership I purchased from has been poor - they still owe me a second key which, despite numerous calls and emails, has yet to materialise. I'm therefore rather reluctant to go back to them at this stage.
