Title: Tyre valve headache monza 2's
Post by: Jonathon555 on September 14, 2013, 08:03:15 pm
Went to get my refurbed monza 2's remounted with new tyres today .

Could not be done as we could not get any tyre valves to fit them ! They seem to need a special valve of some kind

1k0601361 is this the part number I need ?

Where is the cheapest place to get them?

Thanks

Is yours an early car? They sound like the valves I had on my 2005 GTI , I had the 17s but the early BBS made wheels are hollow so need special metal valves , IIRC you have to get them from VW? Later cars like my current 58 plate car had wheels from Ronal which use standard rubber ones.

These are 18" bbs ones 2005 , so it looks like special valves I guess

If the wheel part number ends with AH you need special metal ones from VW.

I just had a massive headache with a leaking one!
