Hi all
If you have alloys with your Up! check you have the locking nuts. I had my first flat tyre yesterday and the locking nuts weren't in the boot. Not good. I had to call VW rescue to fix my flat tyre.
I contacted the dealer who said they must have been there when delivered and that was as far as they were going to help with the matter. Then I realised I'd just had my one year service. Were the wheels not removed when you checked the brakes? Apparently not, they can check the brakes without removing the wheels. Not convinced I asked to see a copy of the VW manual the mechanics use when they service the Up! The dealer was right, you do not need to remove the wheels to check the brakes. They also agreed 'as a goodwill gesture' to issue a set of four locks and nut.
Any way. The reason for my post is, if you have alloys with your Up! check you have the locking nuts.
