Tools for the working on the van (servicing etc)

[VanDamMan]

Can anyone help...

Having taken the van apart again , its time to use the right tools for the job or risk making expensive mistakes. VW Seam to like to use allsorts of different heads ...found a set from machine mart that contain all this......

• Bit holder 10mm hexagon x 3/8" sq. drive
• Bit holder 10mm hexagon x 1/2" sq. drive
• 7 Draper TX-STAR bits: T20, T25, T30, T40, T45, T50 and T55 x 30mm long
• 7 Draper TX-STAR bits: T20, T25, T30, T40, T45, T50 and T55 x 75mm long
• 5 XZN spline bits: 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12mm x 30mm long & 5 XZN spline bits: 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12mm x 75mm long
• 7 hexagonal bits: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 x 30mm long
• 7 hexagonal bits: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12mm x 75mm long

but I’ve read that a XZN 14mm is useful....What other sizes would you recommend

thanks

add in a bucket full of patience . . . ?


all the above plus these if you haven't already got them?

Breaker bar?
torque wrenches?
extension bars?
wobble bars?
trim tool set?
multi-meter?

Got a link to the Tool Station set you are referring to @VanDamMan? Sounds like something I need too! Cheers, Andy

Think I have only ever used M8 M10 M12 on the van, my M14 bit still looks new/unused

What about the bit of cardboard used when spray gluing

Thanks guys...got most of the other tools...but I don’t want to get caught in a lockdown scenario again with the wrong size bits...I’m also going to make up a spares kit for trim clips....

you can get these almost every where


but the 32mm version....bit like hens teeth

TPS are open but have clamped down and although dealers have emergency contacts for key workers don’t want to abuse the situation..so it’s a make do and mend....so if a lesson can be learn’t the odd one of this and an extra bit of that will come in handy
