ha, I saw that on golfmkv were the guy is from and it was pretty funny...there was some better ways to get the bolt out but he choose not to use those.
LMAO ... this guy has never heard of welding at all ... I wonder if he makes sure to put red loctite on all the lugnuts to make sure they don't fall off ... lol.
Def, not a VW issue, since those lug bolts used were "tuner" bolts it looks like. Captive head hardware sucks and strips all the time. And people need to use anti-seize on there threads. so stupid crap like this doesn't happen. i always put a anti-seize on the threads, and the hub pad where the hub centric ring seats. no more stuck on wheels.
