I found my Superb: She's called Audrey!

[Chan110]

The only reason those suffered was the idiot at the tyre garage that over tightened them Wayne..I would get the Skoda ones

I know.

But what's preventing that happening again when I get new tyres? :-(

[Chan110]

Get the older genuine VAG ones, they are 'ABC' ones and use a deep spline on them. Avoid the latter 'EURO' ones with the shallow pattern as they are crap

Any idea how to spot the difference?

[Gizmo]

I will post a link when I getup

[Chan110]

Type3?

Wot are the different types?

[ChrisRs]

Castle Tyres in Cross Flats won't over tighten them Wayne...trust me

Lol

Only if the price is right.

Only if the price is right :-)

[ChrisRs]

Ive not had any cause to grumble

[Gizmo]

ABC bolts:

 

 

New

 

Used

 

As you can see they have a deeper spline so the locking key can get more purchase, they do however need slightly smaller caps to go over them.

 

The ABC type probably is just referring to the different spline pattern (there are several different combinations) 

[ChrisRs]

Those are the ones on Wayne's car that are damaged because the tyre fitter over tightened them

[Chan110]

Cheers Martin!

Yup, Chris they are the ones i have on Audrey now.

Guess these too shallow (Mcgard)?

Wot abt these?

[ChrisRs]

Wayne...get a similar set from Skoda.

The only reason its damaged was because they were over tightened ..not a design fault

[Chan110]

Ok Chris.

They all the same?

Wot difference between the Fabia set and the normal set (see pic in earlier post)?

[ChrisRs]

As far as I know...no difference

Ask DM Keith..They will tell you

[Chan110]

Cant justify the Skoda winter wheel centre cap (with VW logo) at £10 each.

But fancy these used ones:

In the meantime, will spray WD40 on me nuts (u know wot i mean - lol)

[Chan110]

Friend recommend use ths instead (no copper?):

[JakeBlade]

Sorry to say Wayne, but the VW caps do look better!

[Chan110]

Sorry to say Wayne, but the VW caps do look better!

They do?

[ChrisRs]

Yes..They do Wayne

[Chan110]

Yes..They do Wayne

NOT paying £10 per VW trim!

Skoda i may have though ...

[Chan110]
