Something like this is a wee bit more than buying a socket on its own - sure it is the M12 for steering wheel

Comes in handy for other stuff too (rear drop links?).
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Also, if you are changing the steering controller etc etc, you need a tiny tiny torx bit

I think it's a T7 torx for the controller?

M10 spline was useful for removing my Mk5 seats, and also Passat drive shafts.
