[GH85Carrera]

We bought my wife's Macan from our local dealership. She had it serviced the first few times when the dash said it was time. I have changed the oil a few times and that is all.

One day her tire pressure monitor said a rear tire was low. I looked, and sure enough there was a nail in the tire. The dealership only replaces a tire, they don't patch them. OK, I put the Macan up in the on my scissor lift to get the tire off to take to a local tire shop. After two nuts, I came to the locking nut. I did not know it is locking lugs, I looked in the manual and it showed just where the key is supposed to be. I looked and it was an empty hole. Crap. So I called the dealership knowing one of their mechanics either forgot or on purpose kept it. They said to bring it over to get the right key socket. So put the two lugs I had removed back on, lower the car and drive to the dealership.

They pulled out a set of keys and there was one missing in the set. I said it will be the one that is missing. They tried every other one and of course it was the missing one from the set. They went back in the mechanics work area and came out with one that had been used many times, but still good. Likely the one that the Macan came with. They charged me $45 for my own lock socket and I left. I got the tire off, and to a local shop that fixes flats for free for customers.

Now when the car goes in for service, we remove that key from the factory spot, and put it in a cup holder. She knows to show it to the service manager, and tell him she wants it back in the cup holder when she picks it up.

That even showed me how hard it would be to use the tool kit to remove the 135 pound feet torqued nuts would be. I bought a long socket wrench, a nice socket and several pair of rubber gloves to put in the spare tire well. Also a Tyvec painters suit in case I ever had to wrestle that huge tire off the vehicle. If I am not there, she will have to get a tow, or AAA to change the tire. That tire is HEAVY.
