Would I be right in saying that I need a 17mm allen key to open the nut just above the vw cover plate.Iwent into 3 differnt tool shops last week and none of them had that size.Was also looking for a 14mm for the Fiat at home.Just want to top up the oil and Im afraid to take out the speedo cable.Thanks.

yep it's a 17mm, managed to pinch one out of my dads toolbox :laugh: (god knows why he had one that size!)

halfords sell them, thats where I got mine anyway!
its the type that fits onto a 3/8 ratchet iirc
EDIT: it is a 17mm hex key that fits onto a 3/8'' rathet, just to be clear. :wink:

3/8 is what I wanted to hear.Spoted one in work earlier,might have to disappear.Tried in Halfords aswell ,no joy.Not very helpfull in one of the branches over here in Ireland.Thanks

To get out of a jam, I have used a 17mm bolt, fitted two 17mm nuts to the thread and jammed them together. Then inserted the bolt head into said allen fitment, and turn it out on the two nuts. :wink:
Does not always work, but in my case, it did. :cool:
