i never even had a key for my vw ones when i got my car..

its nearly impossible to get vw to get a replacement

i had to pay a tyre place to remove all the old ones.. they'll do it for about 40 quid.

hammer and screw driver jobby works best mate.
bang the washer off then stick a 17" nut tightner on the end and bobs your f**kin uncle, problem solved ;)
