Tyre valve Please help!
« on: 10 June 2006, 18:44 »
Recently bought my mk4 Gti and lm loving the car.However the other day i noticed that one of my tyres was in need of some air.Took the car to the garage to inflate tyre but couldnt find the rubber valve to put air into.Then i noticed that instead of the rubber valve my alloys have a allen key fitting recessed into the wheel.Had a look in the car and found a little tool with an allen key socket on one end that i used to back off the fitting and the valve was behind it.Trouble is the air line still wont connect to the valve so im obviusly missing something but what? Do i need something to go onto the air line?This all seems stupid to me whats wrong with having the rubber valves. :embarassed:

Whoever fitted the flush valves on the wheels should have given you an adapter to use on a pump  :angry:
