Wrong sized Wheelbrace?

Had to buy a new rear tyre for my Macan today- wretched nail in the outer edge of the tread! However, whilst going to undo the locking wheel bolt, I discovered that the wheel brace supplied with the tool kit
was too small for the wheel bolts. Rang the dealer, who said he'd have to check to see if they had the same problem..... perhaps those of you lucky enough to have received your cars might want to check your tool kits!!
Has been a bad week- Also had a violent hail storm last weekend and my Macan is now covered in several small dents [>:] but will still be at Silverstone Classic on Sunday so hope to see you there? [:D]

Whilst refuelling my car yesterday it dawned on me that the supposed wheel brace in the tool kit was in fact the spanner for unscrewing the Ad Blue additive plug!
So all you get to change a wheel is the locking wheel nut socket!

The same as all the other models then?![;)]
 
Just the Diesel models have a "wheel brace" for Ad Blue cap, Alan.

I've got the AdBlue in my Q5 and the wheel brace supplied fits the filler cap and the wheel nuts. It also came with a lifting jack even though no spare wheel (it uses the same expensive can of sealant as Porsche)
I have to admit I thought it didn't fit at first until I realised the wheel nuts had plastic covers over them doh!
