[s-cars] um, help!

VW and Audi switched to pistons with a couple of notches on the diameter back
in the early '90s or so.  The UrS cars definitely do not have a hex opening in
the center.  I don't think any VW/Audi cars do anymore, though I'm sure
somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.  The retraction mechanism is the same,
just requires a different tool to grab the piston.
