Locking wheel nut key sheared
Discussion
2008 A3 8P
Swapping summer wheels to winters. Summers had been fitted by a garage and were on far too tight.
Got three of the locking nuts off, but on attempting to remove the 4th the key disintegrated
Are all Audi locking keys the same or am I better taking the car to a local garage to remove stubborn nut and replace all with normal ones? I'm hoping I can drive locally (carefully!) with only four nuts?
Advice most welcome!

Don't know if the locking nuts are all the same, I doubt in in this day and age, but the official garage will be able to get a new one.
Driving on 4 wheel nuts will be fine, just make sure they're all tight, make sure there's no loose bits of the remenants of the locking nut there, and personally I wouldn't go above 70mph.
