Heeeeelp pls. Monza Valves Don't fit!!!!!
« on: May 20, 2010, 08:50:45 am »
Hi All
Having a nightmare with the new rims.
Tyre fitters can't get valves to fit and Bradford VW are not being helpful.
They don't know of different valves for monza rims!!!

Anyone know the VW part number so I can give them a call?

Cheers

Is this for the metal oem valve for the specific 18" monza rim?

If it is then the part number is  1K0601361

Without traction power is nothing!

If you order it from your VW dealer and they don't have stock, they can usually get them from VW central warehouse for the next day.

What part number do to see on the inner side of the rim?

Sorry for the long delay.
Rims are with the tyre fitters who are still waiting for some valves.
So I can't tell what the part number is.
TPS are having difficulty getting the valves too.

Getting a little fed up now. Anyone got a suggestion for alternatives?

Cheers.

Showing 1 in stock :-(
great guys, they can't even confirm the stock item.
Bradford VW came up trumps putting me in touch with TPS.
They promised delivery on Friday, but still don't have stock.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news.

Never done this before, just amended the title (Mods. Hope this is ok)

Well the valves have arrived at the tyre fitters from TPS.
They don't fit :-(
fitter says the valve fits through bit the external bolt won't tighten down.

Don't know what to do now. Perhaps the fitter is a bit of a muppet.

Any help please????

Yep genuine BBS - all the rims have the "BBS Raised" Lip for the valves and correct part numbers etc.

Starting to think the fitter is a muppet, rather than the rims & valves being at fault.

Right mate if this helps I should have a full set of Monza valves in just a few days. They need one hell of a clean from what I can remember but they fit perfectly.  :happy2:

Let me know if your still struggling.

Boothy.
