Locking Nut Part Number?

Post by TriGGER »

Just rang up VW for a price and they say it only comes with a set of bolts at £80. Asked for a part number they won't tell me that either. Bloke at kwik has already told me then profile is worn and worries he could break it as someone has overtightened it.

What's the part number someone so I can get a new one lol :?

I've also heard that you can no.longer buy the individual key from dealers with the code, as obviously they are not all the same, and need to buy a new set. To be honest there more hassle than they are worth and offer little protection if someone actually wants to steal your wheels. Just replace with a standard wheel bolt and cap.

You could try these guys for a replacement.

I had a locking wheel nut shatter during a tyre change and the code for mine was no longer available so I replaced the wheel bolts. I was of course stuck with a wheel that I couldn't remove so the quickest solution was to get the bolts changed.
