Default Quick help

Just wondering if anyone could let me borrow the security tool for the lug studs on a MK4. It seems the beetle I bought did not come with one. I'm in Riverview between gibsonton dr and big bend. The car is really not mobile at the moment so you'd have to come to me. Thanks.

there are a couple different types of locking lug keys. you would have to either go to the dealership and buy one or hope you can find somebody with the same one..

For the record, I went into the dealership to get one, and they just gave it to me for free.

Not saying you'll get that lucky, but it's worth a shot.

Hey madness, eat it. I can read was just trying to give someone, that's not quite a dick, the information they need. And for the record I got the lock off. To everyone else, thanks for the info, I figured a way around it.
