Wheel nuts problem

[VW VR6]

Looking for tools for removing wheels from VW Golf Mk4.
Does anyone have in Brisbane I will pay if I can borrow just for 5 minutes to take wheel off.
Thanks

you'll need to find someone with the correct security lug key, that one has 22 points on it i think, mine for example has about 17 points.
best bet is to go to a dealer and buy one for about $20-$30. bit of a rip but not too bad.
Or you could go to the parts counter, tell them you want the security lug, the will come out with a set from the workshop, and when they are at your car, say "actually i only need to take it off", so get your wrench out, and use the key then and there.

That all is correct, but car is unregistered and I cannot drive. Another problem.

I ran out to the car in the cold and got my bit. 14 points Sorry mate.

Thanks so much "JustCruisn".
Another bad luck for me.

My have "just" 21 points.

Is it this security lug key aftermarket or OEM from Audi/VW ?

[JustCruisn]

It looks fairly OEM to me.
Call a wrecking yard see what they have. I was told today that you could find one that almost fits then bang the crap out of it until it fits tight, then undo the nut. I guess if you have 4 to do then this will not work out well.

Who is your fav VW mechanic ? If you get along call them ask to borrow one for a few hours ?

[VW VR6]

I have been today (Thursday) to all wrecking yard, tyre shops, all mechanics and no one has any similar tool. I was take pics to my phone. Going tomorrow to VW to see what happened. Unbeliveable that people in Brisbane don't have that tools or they are don't like to give to me.

[JustCruisn]

Did you call Jmac ??

[VW VR6]

No mate, I did not call Jmac. I think because he did not answer here - he dot have that stupid "security allan key" for VW.

I'll go look for mine later to see what it is. If its the same im sure i could post it to you?

[VW VR6]

Oh mate i will send you back asap + money for carton of beer.

[VW VR6]

Actually I visited VW dealer at Newstead, Brisbane today (Friday), and boys told me they are original (OEM) for VW and they are 26 diferrent types.

[JustCruisn]

Then buy one from Newstead VW. Its gonna be cheaper than a carton of beer and you get it faster & get to keep it.
