Title: locking wheels nuts
Post by: Milby on 25 April 2012, 23:35
i lost my locking wheel nut key  :cry: but my ones are standard vw ones as on the bag it says vag and a number you can take to dealership to get new one  :smiley:
will any vw dealer be able to get a replacement
the key is like a circle with 3 pins in the middle which go into three holes on the wheel bolt  :smiley:

I'm 24 and I'm having your lowered suspension off you!? Surely I should be the one saying I've grown out of lowered cars that shake and rattle down the road and that I want comfort now, not you! your getting old before your time!
