Title: Does anyone know what these are?
Post by: Swooper on 22 August 2025, 20:53

Guys,

I recently bought a Mk8.5 GTI and I’m delighted with it.

I found these two plastic caps loose in the door pocket and I’ve no idea what they are for or where they have come from.

They are about one inch in diameter and have the word Volkswagen on them.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Wheel nut covers.

Thanks mate. 

You’re right! [I should have worked that out really]

I’ve just checked and they are all present and correct on the wheels so it looks like the previous owner obtained a couple of spares and left them in the car

FYI. Both of those pictured are to fit the locking wheel nut, the ones for the normal wheel nuts have a hexagon shape inside them.
