alcon Senior User Location: Glasgow Registered: 19 Jan 2005 Posts: 941 Status: Offline	Post #1 Went to take the wheels off my new Rallye yesterday and two wheel bolts sheared off (one on both front wheels). Is it safe to drive on three wheel bolts, properly torqued up, until I get it to a garage who can maybe drill em out? ________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue) 1999 Rallye (black)
