HELP PLEASE! - Lost locking wheel nuts.....

[pierst1]

Hi guys,

 

Iv'e been very stupid and have lots my locking wheel nuts on my VRS. I have a sneaky suspension I binned them by accident a month ago and now my tyres need replacing.

 

Has anyone been in a similar position / could advise on what's best to do. I was going to phone the main dealership but didn't want to get ripped off without asking people on here first.

 

Many thanks in advance

Mine became damaged and had to replace a few years ago, just telephone your Skoda dealer, they will want the Reg number and Card details, it cost me about £13 - £15 and I collected in about 48Hrs.

Ahh excellent that sounds much better than I thought I gather these will include the key as well?

Thanks

I may have misread your post, I was referring to a Spare Key & (one) Nut.

Ahh ok thanks anyway seemed a little cheap will probably phone them up anyway as its going to be a full set and key so I can get them off and fit them again....

Iv'e contacted Skoda and its not as expensive / difficult as thought.

Now record the "number" on the security key when you get  - for the next time! Maybe I'm being smug, but checking that number and recording it is one of the first things I tend to do when I get a new car - just in case.

You could if you get stuck perhaps..try Flea-bay, I got a second set a few years back.

They were McGard number 28018...

Ah, on re-reading this, that is what I thought had happened as well, ie only bolt "key" lost - I was also wrong!

Specialist cars Skoda in Aberdeen removed my locking nuts for fee after i mistakenly left the key attached to a wheel.

I''dbypass SKODA and head to VAG TPS.
