Rusty hubs on a 2007 S3

[m33ufo]

Just bought an 07 S3. One thing I immediately noticed was that the hubs were generally quite rusty. Much more so than I'd noticed on other cars I've owned. It's within 3 year warranty until the end of the month and I was wondering if anyone ever had this attended to under warranty?

A little while ago I had a less obvious problem with the hubs on a 2006 AM Vantage and these were replaced under warranty at just under 3 years.

Do you mean the bells of the brake discs or the hubs themselves?

If the discs this is normal.

We paint them silver if there is a complaint. Its not claimable under warranty.

Very common on all the VAG group cars ive had...Simples...smooth down..and spray with silver hammerite(smooth) look spot on and no more rust....done three cars like this now.

As you say not covered by warranty.

Cheers for the replies. I'll pop it in to see if they'll paint them under warranty - if not I'll call into Halfords
