I've removed the spare tire from my Audi A4 several times, and each time went smoothly. Open the trunk, lift the carpet, and you'll see the spare tire secured underneath. The tool kit is usually right beside it—take it out and use the included wrench to loosen the fixing bolts. Remember to park on level ground and engage the handbrake for safety. Once, I had a tire blowout on the highway, and luckily I had checked the spare tire pressure beforehand. Now I check it every few months. After using the tools, put them back properly so they don't get lost. When removing the spare tire, handle it gently to avoid damaging the rim. The whole process is straightforward and can be done within 15 minutes, even for beginners. Keep in mind that the spare is a compact one—don't drive over 80km/h with it, and get the original tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible after the emergency.
