Grey Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Right I checked my boot tonight and found the following:Mini air compressorBottle of gloop for getting u home if u get a punctureHook for removing centre alloy coverHalf screwdriver, half wheel nut wrench hybridNow I thought I should have locking wheel nuts as standard but I couldnt find the adapter. So I checked tonight and all the nuts are the same and are fitted by the wrench (by the way how do you use the wrench because theres no T bar or anything to provide any leverage to assist wheel removal should you wish to do so?).Anyway my question is does everyone else have the same equipment or should I be nipping down to the local `auto-store` for an emergency locking wheel nut purchase?

MattyB Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Weeeeellllll....I have no "hook" to remove the caps (have to borrow my mates Bora one)I also have no Wrench, this isn't supplied because there is no spare wheel, so they think you never need to get the wheel off (duh)And I have no locking wheel nuts either....but mine is a year old so the original owner might have taken them off?

gordon Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 no lockers right enough, again my car is about a year old so maybe this years models do have them. what i am confused about is ESP, my car aint got the button so i guess it aint got it, is it an option?

Alvaro Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 The ABS as long as the ESP come as standard in Spanish GTI's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted May 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Gordon I cant find the ESP button mentioned in the manual on mine either so I guess it mustve been an option over here.The idea to not give us a wrench for removing the wheels is a bit shoddy 'cause if I do buy some locking wheel nuts I will have to borrow someone elses wrench to get them on and off style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 No ESP, not even an option. The manual is made for all countries and translated as required, hence the mention of things like ESP.We get things like the `8-speaker` Gamma setup and a few other things the Europeans dontESP for GIRLS anyway, aint that right Axel style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
