I was at the mechanic's today to have my winter rims put on, and it turns out that he couldn't put them on because I didn't have a socket key. I had no clue what this was, and even after doing some research, I still don't know what type of key I should buy for my car! It turns out that the previous owner neglected to include this part with the car. It's a 2002 A4. I had to rebook for thursday, so it would really help if i knew by then!

Thanks,

Cameron.

 

You talking about the theft guard socket on your wheels where 1 bolt is different?
If so just buy the one that fits, pretty sure they have generic ones at canadian tire or you can check a tire shop if its a really specific one.

You sure the owner didn't include it though? In my car I just keep it in the toolkit with the jack in the trunk, did you check there or in the spare tire well?

 

Also next time dont post just help as a topic name! If everyone one here named theirs help then really there wouldnt be any point in haveing a forum that helps people with just help as a title.
