  • Centre Cap Corrosion.

    Hey guys, I think I might have seen this mentioned a few times but I just wanted to check it is a common thing with DS3s.
    Around the centre cap of each of my wheels I have a horrible corrosion almost like it has been kerbed but in the centre of the wheel.
    Is this a common thing and do you guys have any suggestions for removing it? Cheers! :star:

    We had all 4 wheels replaced under warranty, six months later it's back..but hey you never know we might be able to get a new set of wheels every six months under warranty..

          Citroen replaced three of my bellones under warranty due to corrosion (looked like white worms under the finish). As far as I know it's a refurb to rid yourself of the white corrosion, there are no easy fixes

            It's worth speaking with your local dealer, if the wheels haven't been claimed before than you might get a goodwill gesture. Other then that you're only other option is to have the wheels refurbished.

                Cheers guys, I still think I have 1 month warranty but it's secondhand warranty with a really low max repair value I'll ask anyway

                  As Biggie said you can always try a goodwill gesture from Citroen as well They might say no.... but they might also agree
