Rusty Nuts

[Baden87]

The wheel nuts on my 2019 Autotrail alloy wheels any one know if this is normal / ok

 

[Baden87]

They are going rusty

 

[Larrynwin]

Aaarrggghhh , thought this was a medical thread at first glance

 

[Nigel L]

Some wheel nut covers will help, plus makes them look so much better?

 

[Podney]

I think they should be replaced under your warranty.

My husband uses ACF-50 to stave off corrosion on his motorbike and the van.

Hi, same as mine they were rusty when we picked up our new van but wheel nut covers and a spray of acf50 sorted that out .

 

[Geistguy]

ACF50, great product but a preventative rather than a cure for rust, suggest it is brushed on the nuts rather than sprayed just in case it gets on brake discs.

Just remember it's a Fiat your talking about not a Auto-Trail.

I thought this was going to be interesting.

Have you ever wondered what the base vehicle is for your Auto-Trail Delaware ?

 

[addoaddo]

Wheel nuts are made from steel so are expected to rust. It is not a manufacturing fault. Look at all the suspension parts, do you want these replaced as well..


If you want them to look good you need to put covers on them

What part of my comment is incorrect?, Auto-Trail didn't make the base vehicle so it's not relevant.
It could have been any motorhome manufacturer.

Unfortunately, nature of the beast but as mentioned caps will transform the appearance in seconds

I recently made the same upgrade and admit it’s one of the most satisfying and cheapest upgrades.

I stand corrected, I totally got the the wrong end of the stick on your first post.

I had a brake service in local garage it took him longer to remove the covers than to do the service. He advised never to put them on again.

 

[mike mcglynn]

Hi, he obviously did not use the supplied tool which makes it easy to remove

I agree and that’s why I opted to use plastic covers rather than ones manufactured in metal

You have got to be kidding, I put a smear of grease when I fitted mine no way would the supplied tool remove them all when I took it for service, I made my own out of some cheap pliers works every time I will take a photograph tomorrow if anyone needs one ?

Can you still see them?

 

[Alanben]

Yes I can, they are in the middle of that big round thing

 

[mike mcglynn]

Hi yes I see your point ,but ACF50 isn’t grease and my nut covers come off easy

 

[leggings]

I know I’m getting old, but my nuts havn’t gone rusty yet

Not like your jokes then.

 

[peterc10]

Ours went rusty on our Hymer so we bought some black plastic covers from Ebay and that smartened them up.

Hhhmmm My advice would be to find someone else to do your work !!!

 

[Alanben]

Ok my joke was to obvious! But someone was bound to come up with it

 

[Essex Janner]

Rusty Nuts, get the other half to rub some oil on them.

 

[RobbyMClark]
