Recently bought my first MK5 GTI (06) as my first daily performance car. Ownership currenlty has been great until finding out I can't buy a metal valve stem, from VW (or anywhere in the UK), for my wheels leaving me with a flat.
Looking at forums i think my wheels are monza I (17" with a lip around the valve). I believe the part I'm looking for is '1K0 601 361 B' or maybe '1K0 601 361'.
If anyone has a recommeneded/trusted supplier please let me know. Or if I am getting the wrong part

are you sure you have 17" rims as I thought only the Monza 18" rims used that valve.
The part number for the 18" Monza rim is 1K0 601 361

The early 17" GTI wheels definitely have metal valves, as I have a set of them in the garage.
They look like the ones in the link above, but the seals can be changed......no idea of the seal specs, so you would need to measure a removed one

It does seem confusing, I ended up replacing my metal valved wheels for later rubber versions. This thread may help: https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,72725.0.html

Depends if you have the early hollow BBS versions or the later solid RONAL versions

Checked the front two wheels and they are '1K0601025AC'.
Reading a couple posts down 'https://www.clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/unable-to-find-any-valves-to-fit-17-monzas.256039/'. I would need the part '1K0601361' rather than the B at the end. Im not fully sure at the moment due to reading the the monza I bbs would need the 1K0601361B.
I think futher down the road ill try find ronals (maybe for a winter setup) or the ed30 BBS but currenlty I cant budget it.

Just thought I'd put images up.

for 1K0601025AC you definately need the metal valves 1K0 601 361
and yes they are now obsolete, and no stock left in UK or germany ...

Hi
Any update on this? I have the same problem my cars having it's wheels refurbed. Before I booked i asked them about the valves and they said 'thats fine, we can supply' I questioned this as, I told them they're a specific valve but 'no problem' they said. Lo and behold they just called me to say they completed refurb but non of their metal valves fit and they can't get any. They can re-fit existing ones but they're badly corroded and one leaks cos they arent sealing well (which was why I wanted the refurb and valves replaced in the 1st place!).
I've checked VW and these valves 1K0601361 ceased production 2023. Not sure of what I can do now. Any ideas? I'd never have had them refurbed if I had known.
Also does anyone know the difference in size between the 1K0601361and 1K0601361B? I can only find size info on the version

According to the description these should work but the price is eye-watering.
