Important information regarding wheel bolts
The design of rims and wheel bolts is matched to the factory-installed wheels.
The designated wheel bolts for your vehicle are two-piece wheel bolts with a rotating shoulder.
Regular one-piece wheel bolts must not be used on your vehicle. If you are unsure about the correct
wheel bolts to be used on your vehicle, please contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an autho‐
rized Volkswagen Service Facility.
If different wheels are installed, wheel bolts with the right length and bolt head shape must be used.
The attachment of the wheels and function of the brake system depend on this.
It may not be possible to use wheel bolts from different vehicles of the same model.
