Happy Christmas All,

Can anyone recommend a good source for a set of

locking wheel nuts for my 2001 Octavia? I should have added

these a while ago !!

Cheers

Your Local Skoda dealer?

The factory locking wheel bolts are pretty good and dont round off like some ive some accross.

Ah but the factory locking bolts are all the same, apparently skoda do 12 different pattern designs for the boltons, the other week a vag mechanic told me the last odd 15 octavia rs's that have been in have had the same bolton pattern. On each wheel I have 3 normal nuts, 1 skoda locking nut, and 1 aftermarket locking nut.

I can get a set from halfords for about 35 quid, just want to make sure

these will be good enough, thought my local dealer would be asking crazy

money for them (from experience) but i'll give them a call

Cheers

Hi Des,

Let me know what the dealer quotes you. Anytime I have been to the local dealer, I cant get over how cheap the parts have been. I will check the price with him for you.

I'd put money on a std set being less than

Silly question of the day:

I've got the standard security bolts on the Fabia vRS. I know where the attachemnt is but are these ok by themselves or should I be supplementing them with heavier duty locking bolts? :confused:
