If my locking wheel nut has 15 splines

<< < (2/4) > >>

Stamanatic:
It does have 4 stamped on it

skard:
are you saying you bought a random key (nr 4) and it doesn't work?
Your bolts won't be set 4 then.

You could keep buying keys optimistically, or a VW dealer will probably move them for free if you're nice and take another set/non lockers with you.

jason_rmh:
15 splines is key no 4 as posted above, from the ABC type locking nuts, but they're not tapered, only a sight taper on the very end of the key.

I was forced to find this info as my local vw dealer was not helpful at all, they wouldn't even get their master set out to try, unless I agreed to buy a full set of locking nuts from them.

skard:
I have had four different sets of splined lockers on my recent cars, sure there are over 30 types?

My local VW were more than helpful, especially when two of their own ones snapped trying to get a bolt out

Stamanatic:
So really there is more than 1 type of 15 spline key? Only ever found info related to a 15spline was ABC 4
