Default um, all the triple sqaure's i have fit in a 13mm socket.
How about just using what ever size fits? just seems like a weird q to me.

Default Sounds like your best bet is to buy a tri-sq. socket set...
after all you can justify the cost because you are doing your own wrenching! At least that's what I do.

Default VW uses 8mm I thought. Audi uses 10mm or 12mm depending on the car.
The 5kq used 10mm, FWIW.

The 200 20V was 10mm but the replacements were 12mm I think.

Definately, two sizes on my car now...........
The "OEM" brand set at auto zone worked

The set was $13 or so......<ul><li><a href="http://www.quattro123.com/AxleCV.htm">examples</a></li></ul>

What size are the flywheel bolts? My triple-square set only went to 12mm and that is too small.
