come to think of it, that does look like the old mk3 wheel lock key. and mcgard does make the keys for vw
#1
So yesterday while finishing up on my head gasket replacement I was taking of one of my wheels, and my lock key broke. The locks are McGard, but I don't have any of the original information on the. I talked to McGard this morning and sent pictures of the lug bolt and key, but in the meantime I'm wonder what, if anything I can do, just in case McGard doesn't come through. My biggest problem is I am driving to California on Thursday next week, so I need to find a solution before then, because I don't want to be stranded in the middle of the desert with a flat and not be able to change it.
Here is a picture of the lug bolt, maybe someone has the same locks and I could use their key to take mine of and put on regular lugs for now.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!

take the lug to vw and see if they still have the old wheel lock set. if they do they may have the key

I'll swing by VW tomorrow and see if they have one. Thanks for the suggestion and info!
