Title: Tyre Valve Busted
Post by: Mr_F on 15 August 2012, 13:39

Guys,

Today I stopped to top the wheels up with some O2 goodness and when I did I put the pump on the valve only for it to get pushed back into the wheel, which quickly deflated the tyre.

Do you think this should be a warranty as its the original wheels?  Got charged £15 for the valve to be replaced in a VW garage.

PS. Didn't rate the look with the Mickey Mouse Wheel on.

Common sense would say a tyre valve is a consumable item surely :wink:

id be amazed if this would be a warranty issue, plus for the sake of £15 is it really worth p!ss!ing ya dealer off?

Thanks Snoopy, good reading.

It wasn;t at my supplying dealer, so not a problem.  I guess I just come from a different school, for £15 it hardly seems worth doing the paperwork / a tad petty.
