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.
Wheel nut caps

- Start date
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.
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.

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

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