    Software for change of lights etc for travel into europe?

    When I bought my car I noticed a receipt in amongst the bills and history for changing the lights over for travelling into europe. It's not mentioned in the manual so I'm assuming this has to be done with specific software? Damian

    Exact location of locking wheel nut socket in rear panel?

    Thanks. That was it. There is a space that *looks* like the socket should fit in it near the back of tool tray but it wouldn't. Never occurred to me to check underneath the towing eye.

    Does anyone have a picture of the exact location where the locking wheel nut fits in the rear panel of a C6 audi. I have the nut, but it doesn't seem to actually fit in any of the cutouts. A picture if anyone has one would be great thanks
