Has anyone had the rusty nut problem? My MY06 C4S has developed this ailment. I seem to remember some thing on the forum about it some time ago. Is there a solution or is off to opc Glasgow for a warranty claim discussion?

Hi Dave
Yes, unfortunately this is a very common problem for Boxster/911 owners. Both my Boxster and 911 have had trips to the OPC to have them replaced under warranty.[:'(]
Some members have replaced them with s/steel (I seem to recall a group buy a while back on one of the forums) or cap them.
Using phosphoric acid based wheel cleaners (now being phased out I understand) only exacerbates the corrosion, and indeed can cause the coloured crest of the wheel centres to drop off.
I'd take it back and have it fixed under warranty, and re-iterate that all Porsche parts come with a 12 month warranty, so if they go rusty again in 12 months you'll be claiming for another new set

Have fun.

cheers off to opc glasgow, thanks for the advice
I noticed I had the same issue this weekend after power-washing my car for the first time in ages (since they lifted the hosepipe ban here).
I am contacting my OPC now to see if I can get them replaced for new ones.
Many thanks for this thread as otherwise I would have never even considered the possibility []

Should not be a problem.
Took mine in to Bournemouth OPC for first service and they replaced the nut under warrenty without me having to ask!
One of the few things Porsche that came "free"
