What's missing from the spare tyre tool kit?
« on: December 11, 2011, 04:07:00 pm »
It seems that something is missing from my tool kit in the boot, but I don't know what.

If you look at the photo below, you can see an empty section in the left half.

Any idea what's missing???

Does it not show you in the manual?
The big bit thats missing is the removable towbar thats optional. Not sure about the rest off the top of my head.

I didn't think to check in the manual, I didn't realise the info was there.

I'm pretty sure that was complete when I bought the car.

One of the garages I have taken it too might have stole it.

But, no evidence, and I've taken it to a few different places...

Thanks for your help.

was looking through mine yesterday and was just wondering if the key to take the caps off the nuts was meant to be kept in there?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

It looks like my edition 30 one did, do remember these are generic inserts so are built to take different items that your car wouldn't necessarily have come with.

If you don't want to buy the wire thing to pull the covers off, a coathanger hook works just as well and doesn't damage the alloys. :xmassmiley:
