Are they original VW alloys and wheel bolts? If so go to the dealers and they will order you one  :happy2:

if its just the standard nuts i.e tuner nut and not locking nut, the dealer will remove them for free, then just buy a set of mcgaurd nuts.. if you cant get to the dealers you can bang a torx key in to the hole to remove them, not the best soloution but it works

Do you mean you've lost the key?

If so then yes as above, with proof of ownership etc the dealers can order you one.  If it's an emergency then the dealers have a set, one of which should fit yours.

I do mean i've lost the little key.

I have been down to vw and the parts bloke said they would have to order a hole new set, which is all the locking nuts plus a new key for around 40 quid. He also said they carnt order just the key any more.

So i might try another dealership and see if they can order just the key.
