Volkswagen Locking Wheel Nut Set including the Locking Bolts, Matching Key, Dust Covers and Removal Tool

The image above shows an entire set of Volkswagen locking wheel bolts along with the matching Volkswagen locking wheel bolt key. The black caps are dust covers used to protect the locking wheel bolts once they're placed on the wheel and the small metal object is the removal tool used to extract the caps from the bolts once they have been fitted. This tool is placed into each of the star-shaped openings of each cap. But any other small tool will do the job just as well.


The image below shows an example of one of the current range of VOLKSWAGEN Locking Wheel Bolts. This locking wheel bolt style is found on VOLKSWAGEN vehicles; typically > Post 2012. There are many different combinations of VOLKSWAGEN locking wheel bolts available. Each locking wheel bolt has a different keyed pattern on the head of the bolt which the matching locking wheel nut key fits into. As a secondary security measure, these later designed Volkswagen locking wheel bolts also have a rotating collar/washer which prevents a thief from gripping the locking wheel bolt. This ensures that the locking wheel bolt can only be removed with the correct matching Volkswagen locking wheel nut key.


We require the image to be taken close-up and straight-on, similar to the image below, so that we can see the security pattern on the face of the bolt clearly. The Volkswagen locking wheel bolt key engages into this security pattern.
