I have a 2003 passat that needs new valve stem seals. I just got quoted 4600.00 to replace them with head still on car. I'm in southern California if anybody knows a shop or is capable. Let me know. Thx Eric D.

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone could help me with some information, The valve stem seals on my 2001 Passat need replacing, like many owners of a car this age the cost of the repair at a garage far outweighs the value of the car, I generally look after the car myself unless it requires...

I have seen a few write ups about changing the valve seals. I would assume it is easier to do it with the head removed, but I have seen others saying they used compressed air to hold the valves in from dropping. The local machine shop says the 5V are hard to work on because they are so small...

FREE BBS valve stem caps GONE. thanks for looking.

I have a set of 18x8 OZ Racing Vela 2 wheels which I need to find a replacement valve stem for. OZ says they were discontinued and didn't use the same valve in any other wheel. I find it hard to believe there are no valve stems any where I can use. See pics below.

got rid of the OEM wheels I was going to put them on and have been sitting in my extra parts storage box ever since. no issues whatsoever. these sell new on ECS Tuning for $13. asking $7 plus shipping. please let me know if you have any questions @ [email protected] or 443-834-9281. please...

i bought these on ebay and they were not what i expected. so instead of just throwing them away or whatever, i thought maybe someone on here would want them. pay the shipping only and its yours. just wanna get rid of them but i dont wanna throw them away.

Someone jacked one off my VZ's. Anyone know where I can pick up replacements cheap? I've seen few vendors sell bbs caps but they warn that if you use a different type of metallic cap, ie chrome when aluminum should be used, it could have some harmful affects. Don't recall of my VZ caps were...

I know its not anything as bad as actually getting my car stolen, but seriously, who decides to take the caps off. Not only 1, but all 4. Its just messed up. It happened during school. I am just glad they didnt let the air out of the tires.

So, I was washing my car and once again, I noticed that those [email protected]#$% kids have stolen yet more of my valve stem covers. With the rims they dont' look good with the copper ends showing, so I have been buying more to replace. I am now thinking I am contributing to these kids habit of stealing...
