Lost locking wheel nut

[aries driving school]

Have lost my locking wheel nut and dealer has told me they will have to drill out nuts.

Is there a earlier way than this.

Thanks

[WTF]

Where are you? Might be member that is local and could lend you theirs?

Not sure if its something Aidan could order for you as a replacement.

Mine is stashed in the boot sump with the spare kit.

On via Tapa.

Have a VW with the factory wheel lock bolts and when lost the key went to the dealer he had a master set of key portion. Tried about 6 of them till found the one that fit and he ordered that one for me.

Get in touch with your dealer asap!

Your wheel bolt code is stored on the Citroen Service System (A sticker should have been placed inside your service book) so a replacement can be ordered, it can take up to a two weeks though but better than drilling as that can cause a right mess to the alloys.

[WTF]

Drilling defo sounds like a last resort to me.

Hi Bigfoot.

That is great news. Ness motors said don't hold that info.

Nice to know someone who knows what they are talking about.

Do you know how much the replace is.

Thanks

Even Vauxhall had spare locking nuts (a whole box of them) when the studs inside mine on the Astra broke To be honest they said their locking nuts often broke and they advised me not to use them lol

I can't find any sticker for code in my service book.

Smaller socket ( 1 size smaller ), smash it on with a hammer and twist

That's what I did.

Are any of these any good ?

PSA wheel bolts are nearly totally different for each car because of the placement of the pins, hence why there is no master set held by garages. Would be shocked to learn of other manufactures that only have six or so patterns!

Ness should be able to request the code through the Citroen Service system by entering in your VIN, surprised they don't know how to do this and the fact that you do not have the re-order stick in your service book!

Vauxhall had a box of maybe 50+, they just tried them until one fitted

Sounds more like they have just been forgetting to put them back in customer cars!

On my VW we found it after about 6 tries. There were a whole lot more than that in their master set.
