Metal Valve Stem
Fas:
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
bacillus:
the B variant is different and looks like this

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
