Hello, my Cupra Leon plug in hybrid is only 6 ish years old and I see wear and tear already. Some of the sensors are now grey (they were black not long ago) and I can see rust inside the wheels /alloy , the pics attached will show you what I am talking about.
Are you having the same problems?
How do I cover again the sensors? They only need to be covered again because they work fine.

You'll probably be best off replacing the sensors as they'll come already black, I don't think you can re-paint them as it can impact their operation.

Your wheel hub bells (part of the disc) will need to be cleaned off with a wire brush then painted with a zinc based paint to prevent them from rusting further, or you could replace the discs and pads.
 
How much would it be to replace the sensors? The cover has gone but they work fine.

I do not think these things would be covered by warranty. It is a PCP car, I believe these all go on to wear and tear things
 
The sensors are painted, they dont have a cover on.

No idea on prices, you'd have to get some quotes.

You'd have to check your warranty paperwork but I'd be doubtful they'd be covered items.
