Hi peeps.
Probably the most ridiculous question ever, but here goes.

How on earth do you get the wheel bolt covers off?

Managed to get one off, but it was a nightmare and scratched the hell out of the wheel.

I'm used to Vauxhall ones which come off quite easily with a pair of long nosed pliers, but these genuine VW/Audi ones fit properly.......too properly?

In the tool kit in the boot there should be a pair of black plastic tweezers, a doddle with them

Cheers, buddy.


Seem to be missing those, but found some on ebay.

Standard long nose pliers work for me.

Might might not be standard audi covers though.

There should be a groove around the cover to grip hold off with the correct tongs/tweezers.

All sorted - bought the tweezers from an ebay seller and job done.

Thanks for your input, guys!
