Not surprised, I had the same issue with my last car - Audi A4 Allroad - and Audi replacements are £1 each! Amazon sell replacements at £6.99 for 20 as per link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pieces-Whe...ocphy=1007144&hvtargid=pla-487782264854&psc=1

I only lost 1 from Audi in 5 years, but I thought someone stole it. The same, as dust cap which magically disappeared at the hotel car park. Maybe both were just lost.

 

[Seriously?]

Mrs S's Leon has the same problem - although weirdly it's lasted 2 1/2 years without a problem, only to lose 4 from various wheels in the last 2 months. They're not being stolen, they definitely work loose.

Yeah, I am. Think it’s from Power washing them. Have you ordered more and if so, what size? Seems plenty on Amazon etc but they are 22mm on the car?

My dealership sold me an individual one for £1.50.

I replaced the covers & bolts on my 2018 Leon FR with chrome bolts (£16.99 for 20). Look better and changing a wheel now much easier (& faster).

A spot of grease inside the cap will help them stick with the car?
