Does anyone know the correct size socket for the driveshaft on my ibiza.

Have a look on www.briskoda.net I think that there is a guide on some stuff and that question has been asked many times before - maybe use search on here too (if you have not already)! I'm at work but can answer that question tonight - I seem to remember that I bought a deep bi-hex Laser impact quality one (the easiest one to get with bi-hex as that nut is 12 pointed) - in fact the same Laser part number is quoted on one of these forums.

You could always "brass it" and phone up Star Performance if no one else replies!

Well I've looked on the Skoda site and it is a 36mm bi-hex socket - maybe deep socket, that you need to buy, as said already, you will probably find that the Laser Tools one is easiest to find.

i had a multihex socet but now been told its a double hex which will do the trick.

been a dam nightmare.... no one has one to buy and 2/3 my local town garages dont have 36mm's

Have you tried Halfords or parts places? Remember its just bi-hex 36mm and might, as I said need to be "deep" - better to get "deep" just in case.

Laser Tools sp/n 0954 at about £10 is the one you are looking for as Halfords and lots of smaller car tools and parts places sell Laser Tools

halfords was a waste of time and partco said theve never heard of it.

I used 0954 from laser tools, look at the website and find your local stockist.

I think that you will find that Halfords are one of their listed outlets as they can't sell direct. Halfords tend to hide these things in their locked-up areas. I'd be amazed if you could not find one in independant car bits/car tools shops - which Partco certainly aint! A1 in Bathgate or the place listed in Dundee - or GSF Glasgow or ECP in Edinburgh.

well checked it again, the socket i got given was an imperial one and was told of a place near me which should have it.
