    Just washed the car and noticed each wheel seems to be missing one or two wheelnut caps. Unless someone has nicked them I am assuming they've just worked themselves loose and flown off whilst driving. Which makes me wonder if there's a design flaw here and should I take it up with Audi as can't believe this should be an issue in this day and age?

    Anyone else have similar problems? I have the 22" Audi sport wheels if that helps.

    Yeah, not great. I was cleaning my A7 yesterday and whilst pressure washing the wheels, one just popped of the back nearside wheel.
