Well today i fitted the alloys off the Old Audi TT ( only 6 wks old the guy didnt like them just had to get tyres for them £££££) to the bora to see what they were like and felt on the run.
The locking nut for the VW is a very simple thing more or less like a torx bolt just with more pins, now thinking that anybody with a vw (and prob audi skoda seat etc) would be able to remove them i decided to get a proper set from Halfords when i was in carlise and use both sets. so got home and got the 1st one screwed in and grabbed the torque wrench and set it to 120 Nm started to tighten it to the torque and SNAP :evil: the key had split down the side so cant undo the nut and cant get the rest fitted
now have to wait on McGard (based in germay) to send me a replacement, other prob is thy wont send one out till they receive the broken one. am thinking around 2 -3 weeks
Heres my question does anybody know of a way of removing the bolt without the key ?
