Mk4 wheel lock nut - urgent help required

[Sirocco20348]

Well it had to happen one day...I have misplaced the lock nut attachment.

It's a pointed 19 spline style tool.

Does anyone have one handy I could borrow and get rid of these lock nuts once and for all??

I will pay for postage both ways.

Please help.

Pretty sure there's multiple different ones.

[Sirocco20348]

Yep there are quite a few. I'm after the one with 19 splines.

Bash a long 12mm spline into them, and blast them off with a rattle gun.

Then just buy normal bolts. Unfortunately, you can't buy individual replacements anymore from VW.

ive got one but its only a 16 point number 60
but if your lucky go to your VW service centre they carry the full set
there in a wooden box if you ask nicely they might let you use it there

Thanks very much guys, I appreciate all the help.

I've been so busy this week, hopefully tomorrow I'll rip the garage apart to try and locate it.

I can't even drive my car atm because there is something seriously wrong with my front brakes. There must be a rock stuck between the rotor and pad. The noise is absolutely ridiculous!!!!

Checked mine today too cause I got a flat tyre and a flat battery was 15 point sorry.

[JustCruisn]

As for that noise are you sure it is not the metal wear indicator rubbing on the disk, as a warning you need new brakes ?

[Umai Naa!!]

Push on the stone shield through the wheel with a screwdriver, and maybe the stone will fall out?

Thanks for checking!

Nah it's way worse than that, its a worrying metal on metal grinding with extra hardcore noises to go with it. In my mind it sounds like the inside pad has cracked and split in half, rubbing on the rotor and jagging on the grooves on the rotor face. If is a rock ill be mighty impressed.

It happened while i was out at Morgan park last week. Doing a lap, everything was sweet, i then went did i hard brake and cue unholy metal on metal noise.

I checked my entire garage and car today. Gone. I'll follow up with Volkswagen Monday.

I popped down to my local dealer and they took my lock nuts off and installed some spare bolts I had when I got stuck. Still no idea on where my lock key went
