Hello everyone,

When I got my car back in October, the PPI failed to mention that my wheel lock key was broken with a crack down the middle going 80% of the way down.

I had just replaced the inner tie rod Saturday and the mechanic said the old wheel lock key needs to be replaced. When he opened my wheel, the crack got worse. Now it is down 90% of the way.

So my question is, if I buy a Porsche wheel lock kit from PelicanParts or Porsche, will it be the same key as the one I already have? Can I use it to take the old wheel locks off? Or is it a different pattern?

What should I do if it is a different pattern?
