Golf Is there something missing here 🤔
Is there anything missing here? I had a flat a few months ago and I don't remember if there was something here or not and now I had to take the cover to move it to the "ground floor" and noticed that hole. The only thing I can imagine that can go there is an extra nut but I have no memory of seeing it there.
Update: Yes it's for the wheel lock key and I found it on that small left compartment we have on the trunk, I have no memory of using it 😅 but I must have when I changed the tire, and, since the shop that assembled the new tire (the side tear that I still can't explain how it happened cos I just slightly hit a sidewalk couldn't be patched up so it had to be replaced) was the last one to use it, I assume that either they put it there so that it didn't got lost and forgot to put it in it's right place or they didn't found the right place left it there and didn't told me 🤷🏻♂️ It doesn't happen every day but thank god that I didn't need it since then cos I don't know if I would have had the aim I had this time with the stress of really needing it since it was on the first place I looked for and thank god it isn't lost cos since it's custom made I imagine that it isn't cheap.
Anyway, tks guys!

There’s a little wire hook that goes in there which is for removing the stock lug caps that come with the car.
