Wheel nut caps

Funny - noticed I'd lost one yesterday as well. Going to have to look closer now.

One or two on the same wheel could be pushed back on as well..

Driven 25.000km in one year, changing wheels to winter set, summer set and again winter set, using the same set of wheel nut caps and still have all of them.
Pretty hard to get them out even with the provided tool..

So I think there is a wrong placement of your nut cap during wheel change.

No wheel change - my car was new 7 weeks ago.. POBs car is only 3 weeks old!

My 2 month old seat I brought second hand has the same issue.

Picked it up last week and noticed that 4 of them are missing already. Planning to use a bit of blue tack to keep the others on.

Does anyone know where I can order replacements online. I've had a look on ebay but I can't guarantee i'm getting the correct size and colour.

You can order replacements from Dave @ SERE - http://seatcupra.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=249

If you have locking wheel nuts you'll need 16 standard and 4 for the locking nuts.

The ones I got from him 18months ago are still all in place on my car.

Good thread title! - see http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=424653

As Chris says, got replacements from Dave @ SERE. Used blu-tack on these and remaining originals to help ensure they don't go AWOL in future.

Mines have started to do this lately for whatever reason, especially when washing the car when I hold the hose in close to them, still have all my originals yet thankfully

Got all mine since two years bit they've gone a short of white powder colour

If theyve turned white you must have been using an acidic wheel cleaner on them as that is what discolours them.

Ah that's a good point. I Use a colour changing BMW one. Didn't realise it was acid based. Thanks for the tip.

I painted mine black today to fix this

Seven SEATs in and never lost one yet, must be making them looser now.

never lost any till new 65 reg

i have lost 2 a month ago though they were being taken dealer put 2 more on the next day i thought i would look to see if still on and 3 were missing but found one on the drive , so i decided to check a lot of them were a loose fit , they were tight when i had taken them off to paint calipers but it seems after being taken off a couple of times they become loose . i decided to take them all off and put some black tape in the inside they went on tight now so hopefully stay on , i had a couple given to me off a skoda these are a diff design but were a good fit , to be fair i have had at least 7 leons and never lost one until this new 65 reg one i had a loan car off seat dealer last week that was 65 reg and 6 were missing ive now sent for a set off alliexpress to try

No help to posters who are loosing them but mine have been on the car for over 2 1/2 years now and lost none. They have been on and off every winter (3 now) to change wheels and they still take quite a bit of effort to remove with the tool. The current ones supplied must be loose.
