The car being a VW has nothing to do with it, but the stupidity of the owner/driver.

That thread had come up here once before. funny! Their are plenty of other legitimate reasons not to buy a vw, this isn't one of them.

That's down to some moron overtightening the wheel bolts in a tyre place. I had to use a 6 foot extension bar to undo the bolts on my Blazer. My 18 volt Snap On impact gun didn't even have a chance!!

Don't buy THAT guy's VW... ;)

I've had tire shops do that to my cars 3 different times, using an impact on the wheel lock...  1 of the times they got the wheel lock out no problem.  2 of the times they ruined it so bad tightening it up and during trying to remove it they had to cut the wheel off.   It was cool though because I got a new wheel on one and on another my wheel wasnt available anymore so i got another set of 4.  ;D

     My 19 year old son had the same problem with the stupid racing rims he put on his 240sx,  then he lost the key.  So he got a flat and couldn't figure out how to get them off.  I let him sweat for a week while he went everywhere looking for a key.  After a week, I welded on a solid bar to each lock on every wheel, with a bar at the ends and carefully twisted them off.  The problem is the wheel nuts fit into the rim so close you couldn't get a socket or anything in there.  Needless to say he won't loose the new key he bought for the new locks.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Was going to read it but after reading the 1st page and saw it went on for 142 I gave up. But I remember when AutoZone sold some kind of fuel cleaner or hp adder I forget what it was but after doing some test smelling it then trying to burn it wouldn't burn that well we came up with the ideal it might just be a shot of diesel or something like that
