If you get a flat tire, a certified AAA technician will visit you, and they will install the spare tire of. They will not patch or repair your tire on the spot. They can also inflate your tire, or they can tow your tire to the nearest automotive center. However, they can only install your spare tire.

A search for 'vw jetta lug nut key spline' returns many results on the river shopping site, and I'm sure it will return similar results at other sites. Yes, the AAA can fix flat tires even at home.

Then, head to a local auto parts store or your favorite online behemoth and pick up a single lug key, or a set of lug keys with multiple spline counts. (Mostly, they probably wanted to bill you for the service - they probably could have told you exactly what spline count you needed from the VIN.)Ī quick internet search will tell you the number of splines used on the (OEM - no accounting for aftermarket replacement) lug nuts on your year/model VW. This is one of the reasons the dealer wanted you to bring it in.

However, depending on generation, they use anywhere from 13 to 19 splines (I believe that's the range). VW uses 4 standard hex-head lug nuts and one inner-splined lug nut as a theft prevention method. This is a bit old, but as someone who has owned 3 Jettas and 3 Passats (2003 and newer), I feel I'm reasonably knowledgeable on this topic.
