Wheel bolt removal tool

586 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  129_Alan
The tool kit in my newly bought 2012 A5 2.0 S-line SB is missing both the reversible screwdriver with hexagonal end for bolt insertion/removal, and the wheel bolt plastic cover removal tool.

The bolt cover removal tool, I've sourced on eBay, with a set of new caps (as there's 2 missing!), but with regards to the reversible screwdriver...do the ends of these vary in size from model to model to fit different sized bolts, or are they all the same?

Cheers

Just wanted to clear this thread up by saying that the ebay seller has now confirmed that the hex opening in the handle is 17mm, the same as the A5 wheel bolts. Not sure if all of the Audi tool kit screwdriver handles are a 17mm hex, but the one I've found is the correct size for my car at least.
Alan no idea mate but you can always contact Audi Parts & Spares | Audi Breaker | Prestige Motor Services Ltd cos they have loads of stuff and they are also very helpful!!

Hi Alan all the screw drivers are the same within the Audi toolkit, as far as I am aware so is the cap removal tool(A3,A4,A5,A6).
I honestly must have at least 8 of both items in my garage and just pm me your address if you ever lose yours.
I 'll stick both items in the post for free.

Hi.

Yeah that's what I wasn't too sure of. None of the listings on eBay mentioned the hex size. I just contacted the guy selling the cheapest one and he confirmed his one as 17mm, which was what I needed. Cost me just over a fiver inc postage, so not too bad.

I suppose they're a very easy thing to inadvertently leave at the side of the road after changing a flat tyre in the dark, and in pi$$ing rain!

Anyway, thanks for the info....and that's a really generous offer.
Thanks mate (y)
