Should I have a locking wheel nut?

[ChrisWvRS]

I have a 14 plate octavia vrs tsi hatch and I couldn't seem to find a locking wheel nut before I took my car for an MOT. It passed the MOT fine, but wondered whether there even is one for these cars?

 

Thanks

Have you looked in the boot, either with the spare wheel, jack or other bits n bobs?

Do you mean a locking wheel "nut" key? Take the covers of the bolt heads on one wheel and see if there is a locking one. If they are all standard hex heads no key required.

My 63 has one. It's under the boot floor with the spare wheel etc. I'd have thought you should have one.

You most definitely should have one.

 

If it was a brand new car bought. Would of been part of the handover

In the UK I'm pretty sure all cars should come with a locking Wheel nut on each Wheel.

Use the plastic tool from the boot to remove the plastic caps over the nuts & you should find one with a special star pattern inside the nut head.

 

In other countries its not always a standard option.

Here in Switzerland for example you have to pay extra to have them fitted by the garage (I didnt get them with my vRS).
