When torquing the wheel bolts on your 2020 Audi A3, the vehicle must be jacked using proper and safe equipment. While torquing the wheel bolts, the wheel you are torquing must almost touch the ground (but not completely on the ground) to avoid false torque. If the wheel is spinning when torquing the bolts, you can stop it from spinning by using a wheel choke or block placed under the direction the wheel spins.

Warnings:

  1. Not using the proper jacking equipment in the proper jacking points, will cause the vehicle to collapse, which will result in personal injury and damage to your 2020 Audi A3 Sedan.
  2. Do not over-torque, do not under torque your wheel bolts. Over-torquing might cause the bolts to break, under-torquing your wheel bolts might cause the wheel to come off when driving.
  3. All bolts must be properly cleaned and free of any dirt or rust, and the thread on your bolts must be free or any damage.
  4. When installing the wheel, make sure the holes in the rim are perfectly lined-up with the corresponding holes in your discs.
  5. Make sure that before removing the wheel, all bolts have been removed. Do not "hammer-out" the wheel with a metal hammer if the wheel is seized on your 2020 Audi A 4 Sedan.
