Thanks folks - snapped the plastic one yesterday after I drilled out one of the caliper mounting bolts!

Neil's info looks correct - part number is 7L0012223 and RRP is £6.18 and it's shared with the Toureg as well.

It's got a rounded end, unlike some of the options, so hopefully won't damage the paint. I'm pretty careful using it anyway, it just failed due to age I think.

Struggling for search terms that don't bring up 1,000s of results!

Closest I've got is this one which looks up to the task

I'd go for this one. The Merc one that I bought doesn't fit very well (different thread I guess) and you could always wrap this one in fabric tape to prevent scratching the wheel. I think the diameter tolerance would allow that.

I ordered the q7 one this morning - should be able to pick it up tomorrow from TPS - looks like it'll work out cheaper than the aftermarket one and fingers crossed it will fit the slot in the toolkit

There's 12 and 14mm options for the merc tool but think thread pitch should be the same?

Collected the q7 wheel aligning pin yesterday - change from £6 with a bit of discount

Its LONG!!

Fits the bolt holes perfectly but doesn't fit in the slot in the boot. I've just put it in the larger space towards the back of the car
