Alloy wheel centre caps replaced

[minimow151]

The centre caps on my 2011 were showing signs of corrosion on the Volvo symbol. Replaced by the garage this week. They had changed the nuts on the last service due to corrosion as well and all under warranty.

Would be interesting to see what are the common faults that need to be fixed before warranty expires.

It makes me smile that they scrimp on cheap wheel nuts. I saw a big AMG merc 4x4 recently, 12 reg, REALLY posh with all rusted nuts!

To be frank there are not really any common problems with the XC90 now , it is now in it's tenth year and fully sorted . There must be some local reason why your centre caps and nuts are corroded as this isnt a common problem either . Anyway , you still have plenty of warranty left :-)
Just a thought , the Parking brake , you do use it don't you? if not that will fail the first MOT , make a habbit of pressing it before you come to a stop so that the linings and drums actualy rub against each other and keep clean, if you put the parking brake on after you come to a stop there is never any rubbing and the drums can rust .

Either that or pull away with the parking brake still on 'cos I forgot to release it (again)!
