Rusting already on wheel hub nut
Had the car in the tyre shop and couldn't help by notice how bad the rust was for a 10 month old car. I've never noticed this on the other cars, just wanted to share to see if others have the same and if its anything to be concerned about?

I'm a really lazy person... It takes a lot to get me to do anything!
I'd be discussing the warranty replacement of those. That's not acceptable in my book.

Yeah, I went to Audi yesterday and they said it was normal, even showed me a bunch of other new cars with the same. They said it was safe and it would just rust again if they cleaned it off.
