surefunk Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi there, Does anyone know the VW Part Number for a set of locking wheel bolts, for Bathursts on a lupo gti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Have you thought about using McGard locking nuts. They are 'supposed' to be the best available. They cost about £25-£30 from halfords, although the little book in halfords lists the wrong part number for the lupo.There are a few threads about them if you do a quick search.We have them on both ours cars, and well, we still have wheels, so they are working style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 a vw set of locking wheelnuts is £18.57 inc vat, part number 6n0 601 137 sbv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I use McGard myself as the VW set has about 8 different designs (mechanics have a set of all the wheel keys for example) so in theory next door with a VW could unlock your alloys wheel lock......I was amazed by this when I found out after working at VW HQ and changed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 its interesting to note, you can remove a set of mcgard wheelbolts without the key, in about 5 minutes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I don't think there is a wheel bolt on the market that is good enough to be totally secure. Its all about making the scumbags spend that extra 5minutes undoing them, in which time they will hopefully be seen by someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 i have 2 sets of locking wheelbolts on my car, due to the fact that the alloys were stolen about a week prior to me buying the car from work! anything to slow those fúckers down!
