Winter Wheel and a Secret Compartment
 
3 Attachment(s)
Spent the day in the stupid garage changing over summer's to winters. 44 degrees and rain when I thought it was gonna be sunny and 60. I could not have been more wrong. It would have been nice if I could find my manual and had known what tool gets the little plastic caps off of the lug nuts. I came up with a trick using the round "cap" tool. I had no idea what the "tweezer" looking tool thing was for. You guys follwing this gibberish?
Anyway here are the MSW Type 23's with 18 inch Blizzak's. They look pretty good with the Daytona Gray.
What is the secret compartment in the rear hatch for? Am I missing something?

I believe that's for the warning triangle, which is required in all European vehicles, but something I don't think we get in the U.S.

Emergency Triangle. The European Q5s come with one in there. We in the USA have to buy it as an option through our parts department if we want it.

I had to have one to pass inspection in Germany, and it fits in there perfectly! I actually have a spare from my husband's truck....

I use to switch my winter tires over myself as well.
Without a lift it just took too long using the jack.
Dealer now does it for me for $25.

Agree
I ain't doing that anymore. Audi wheels get dirty as hell. What a mess.
It sure handles (rolls) different on the Blizzak's too. Waaay smooth if you know what I mean.
