Wheel security key needed
My daughter just bought a 2011 V50 which I'm giving the once-over. Despite the previous owner's assurances, the wheel nut security key is missing.
A long shot but does anyone have this key? Thanks.

That's the older McGard type. Luckily Volvo dealers have a number of master key sets that they can access so if you approach a dealer they'll get them off. Failing that, some garages will cut them off but you do run the risk of wheel damage.

Either ToolStation or Screwfix (I forget which) used to sell a tool for getting off locking wheel nuts - I don't know if they still do. I had a set taken off by my local garage a few years ago after a tyre place kindly broke my key & then denied all knowledge of it!

Hi just one issue with welding, if the lockers are the same as mine, the outer part goes round, only the key part does not move, this helps with the security side so you can not attach 'tamper' nuts

volvo main dealers DO have access to the keys they denied having access to thats been well documented here in the past they have to do a Bit of work, and Request the key be sent to there dealership ,then return it after the job... so if your main dealer is saying they dont ,, he means "we wont" = Time to find another main dealer, FAR too many main dealers are doing this out and out lie to customers when the car is over X years old or they really dont want the work (and payment for it)

By way of a positive update, I emailed McGard the photo of the security nut on Saturday. They replied at 9:30am yesterday (Monday) morning saying Yes, we can help you, and asking for a copy of the V5 and my D/L which were duly supplied. First thing this morning (Tuesday), they sent me a pre-filled invoice link for €20 for the new key including delivery which should be by the end of the week. That's what I consider absolutely outstanding service.
So a big thanks to you guys for all your good suggestions. I've added McGard to my contacts for future reference.

Once off, throw them away and replace with a standard wheel bolt.
They are absolute junk as evidenced by the number of threads on here where people have been unable to remove them even with the key because the key bit is made of chocolate. Ask me how I know.
