Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Mine came off once before too. These caps are pretty snug and tight, I doubt they can fall out themselves.

    Some lowlife must have used a screwdriver or something to pry it out. Bought mine from the dealer @ $20. At the back of the cap it states made in Italy? No wonder it costs $20!!!!

    My "R" badge got nicked by jerkoffs at Chadstone S/C too.

        many of the eBay ones are cheap Chinese made and the quality is far inferior compared to the Made In Italy ones. how do i know??? i made 2 mistakes by buying those eBay ones from HongKong and another set from USA, both are made in China and are very low quality.. $22 wasted for 2 sets!

        if you have something else to buy, get them from ECS:
        Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0T > Wheels > Center Caps > ES#251579 Center Cap - 56mm - 3B7601171XRW

        and yeah, you need to buy something else (brake pads, diverter valve, castrol oil, apr intake / downpipe / catback / fmic, etc...) to make the shipping cost worth it

              I bought some ebay chinese ones many moons ago. $15 for a set of 4. They looked perfect and never came out. I've still got a few spare.

                    Missing wheel centre cap

                    Either it has fallen off or someone has helped them self to one of the wheel centre caps on my 18 inch Detroits. Where other than VW can I get a replacement and do they just push on?

                      Yes they do push on. I've replaced a few on my detroits, the lugs go brittle and then they fall off. $30 for 4 off eBay or $15 for 1 off the main steeler.

                              I've had about 4 come off over the last 5.5 years I've had the Jetta, however I have Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's (with original VW centre caps) so the fit might be a slight bit different. Ive seen a couple pop out when washing the car with a pressure washer and upon inspection, have seen the plastic clips cracked and degraded. Appears to happen with wheel movement and heat (sun, brakes?). I think it is unavoidable and only solution would probably get a bit of silastic and clip them in, that way when the clips crack and degrade, the cap will stay in place. My caps fit in extremely tight and if someone was going to attempt to remove them with the wheel still on the car, they'd just end up damaging the wheel and the cap and get nowhere. I always carry at least 1 x spare cap in my glovebox just in case.

                                I bought a set of four but all were loose. I bent the lugs on one and have put that on but it's not tight like the original three. What's silastic?
