Locking wheel nut key
Hi, I have just tried to get a replacement locking wheel nut key from vw. My caddy apparently doesn't have oem item fitted anymore and someone has put mcgard brand on.
Is it best to just bin them and replace with vw ones or any recommendations from you guys?
I am currently running with a can of instant repair just on case

Re: Locking wheel nut key
I’d bin them, probably cheaper to buy a new set than get a key
VW do a set of accessory locking nuts for about £25 ZGB-1J0-071-591-A
as opposed to £80 for the regular ones as far as I know they are just the same apart from the part number

If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is

Nothing wrong with the McGard brand, they’re well regarded.

Re: Locking wheel nut key
The VW splined ones are childs play to remove, would rather mcguard ones but a pain to match a new key if you lost your

Re: Locking wheel nut key
As said already, mcgards imo are far better than the vdub lockin nut

Re: Locking wheel nut key
I lost my mcgard locking nut. I rang them and they asked me to send over a clear picture and they matched it. I run a set of vw and mcgard ones now. Lol

Re: Locking wheel nut key
Hi, if you take the part number quoted by Beaker2135 into a VW dealer or TPS they will be able to supply them.
