Wheel nut caps

[Johnny Leon]

Just been out checking my tyre pressures and noticed that I've lost 6 wheel nut caps and that most of the rest were working their way off too. All are for the standard bolts - the caps for the locking ones seem to be a better fit. Looks like they need something extra to hold them in place. I remember my A3 having a substance a cross between chewing gum and blu-tack smeared on them for this purpose.

Strange, mine are a fairly tight fit and need removed using the plastic puller type tool.

Mine came fitted with all locking wheel nut covers which are large. Lost quite a few but dealer sent me a new set.

I thought mine were but apparently not.

Checked and they are 2 different part numbers on mine, so they are correct part, but not a tight enough fit. Looks like I'll be buying some more and applying some goo!

Anyone know what wheel nut size the leon uses? I have also lost a few wheel nut covers and need to order more.

17mm. Part no. 4M0 601 173 B for non-locking wheel bolts.

Dave at SERE can get you sorted, just need to let him know how many standard and how many locking you require.

Lost a load of mine too...had the car 3 months and just started losing them. Checked and some were loose and pushed back on but still some worked loose. Bought some off eBay for about 5 quid which seem a better fit and actually look better.

Do they fit the locking nuts or are these a different fit?

 

[JDandCoke]

Washing the car today and realised i had lost loads of these!!

Checked the others and they are a little loose so opted for the ebay ones mentioned above. Must have been flying off all over the place lol

 

[servicepoint]

Lost 4 in the last two weeks, some are right on and others arecquute loose and just work their way off.

Never had a problem, all still tight with car 28+ months old and tyres changed also.

 

[R22 JGB]

I always take them off.
I get my Eastern European friends to wash my car, the acid they use on the wheels turns the nut caps grey, so I keep the covers in the garage for when I sell the car. Then forget to refit them, so have a few in my garage.
