Also missed the fact that I was missing a dustcap remover but strangely not the bottle opener!

Whas that then ???

I don't remember the Golf having one but on some VW's didn't you get one clipped into the petrol cap area???

Shhhhsh - they are fitted to Vauhalls,  not Dubs - well I haven't seen 'em on a dub!

The little tool to remove the black rubber stuff that goes over the bolts holding each alloy in place. There's a tool (in the manual it's the first thing you use to take the wheel off after applying the jack) - looks like a wire with a curled/looped end.

Yebut - that is for the wheel bolt caps, which are not called dustcaps.  Dustcaps is a term generally used to refer to the tyre valve caps, be they on bicycles, cars, or fookin gert trucks.

Actually, does one end of the black plastic screwdriver handle remove the dustcaps, with the other end being used as a spinner for the losened wheel bolts?  :undecided:

Correction - they are alloy wheel bolt caps, not dustcaps. :laugh:
