Anti-theft Wheel Bolt

tregbn · 2022-08-05

2012 VW Touareg Hi guys, I'm trying to replace my FR speed sensor on my Treg but I can't get the wheel off because there's a security lock bolt and I've lost the factory removing tool. This is how it looks like. Do you guys know where I can order the removing tool?

There is a company which can send you a new "key" if you send them a photo but you'll need to do your own Googling!

I'd replace the key bolts with normal wheel bolts - they all have covers do no one will know.

Tip! Search this forum using Google or Bing with [site:www.mytreg.com word word word ]

VW Touareg models are as follows:
Generation 1: T1 is model 7LA and the facelift T2 is model 7L6
Generation 2: T3 is model 7P5 and the facelift T4 is model 7P6
Generation 3: T5 is model CR7

Thank you for this! I might have overlooked it when I was browsing through. Is ebay a trustable source though?

Oh really? That's interesting! I better start googling then. And yes, that's exactly my plan once I get these key bolts out.

Chisel off the spinning collar then select a socket that is a tight fit & sledge hammer it on. That's how I removed them on mine.
