Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Car/Tire guys, need some help:

- Start date
Yes, all of the lugnuts are like that. VW said if I dont have the lock to have it towed to the dealership. I said I live 40 miles from the dealership and I’m not paying that
This, it's a lock nut usually kept in the glove box. If you bought the car used and it is not there you'll have to get one from VW
Also lol @ not checking this stuff out when you bought the car. Always check your spare and jack to make sure you can change a tire if needed.
yep, total dumbshit move on my part. I always keep roadside in case of a flat.
Looks like a star key. Hit autozone they make a piece to link on a rachet. There should be one somewhere in the car. Ck owners manual.
Pin hole in fuel line. Let car run until it ignites. Burn mother fucker burn.. collect insurance.Edmonds car values are up 42% as of last week.
I guess you found it?
How does this story end @d-tiger45
Ordered a kit from amazon that has a bunch of those shaped things to9 try and get the wheels off
i still hav emy old wrangler I can drive for now
No, I forgot to look for it when I bought. Didntrealize it had a key.
Is the car on the side of the road?
Sorry,m no its atthe house. I ran over a nail and its flat. Woke up to it the other day.
Okay, that’s not too bad. Imagine if you were on the road and that shit happened
I thought star bit, but I counted 9 points instead of 6, so some sort of Nazi security bit.
Fvckin Germans. I like @Rebarcock. idea. May just “accidentally” have it catch fire.

@Croot_Overlord had the right idea. I got a coat hangar and Lo and Behold it’s a cover over the Real lugnut. All of them are off and tires are ordered and will be installed on wednesday

After reading this I zoomed in on the picture. Clearly made of plastic.
The fvckin VW people made it seem like it was ax expensive part to buy. I’ll never buy another one after this shit x
Ive gotten the wife two different sportwagens since 2015 and they’re great. First one was diesel and the second was a gasser I really miss the diesel but it was too much $ to pass up along with a brand new one that had 4x4.
But ya the lug nut key thing is pretty normal. Both VWs were brand new and had a key in the glovebox and a key with the spare tire stuff under the rear cargo. They’re usually shoved inside the styrofoam thing that the jack comes in right by the spare.
Most shops have their own lug keys for all makes but it sounds like ur a bit of a cuck that goes to the dealer to get raped with all their additional services that must be done at a certain mileage.
