GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - ginge191 - 17-07-2012

So i've been in contact with TRW and their UK distributor to source some of these valves. I've got all the codes and sent them off for a price figure and enquired about a group buy on these also.

In Valve 537141 £5.97 each + Vat

Ex Valve 537148 £9.90 each +Vat

Carriage £7.95 or P&P £3.95

If anyone else is interested, have a look here at the TRW page for some more info on these bad boiiii's:

This is not likely.

Re: GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - samass - 17-07-2012

Dont think they fit the xsi/1.8, the gti valves are bigger me thinks.

Still, might be interested, how much we talkin?

why dont you know nowwwwwwwwwwww

RE: GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - Niall - 17-07-2012

They won't fit xsi/1.8. Gti valves are huge in comparison.

Are they one piece valves?

your guess is as good as mine, there are no specific car specs online; whats the difference?

RE: GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - ginge191 - 17-07-2012

First post updated with prices

RE: GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - Niall - 17-07-2012

.....Which is a good thing as these are an upgrade Wink

RE: GI: TRW Valves; GTI (XU10 J4RS) - samass - 18-07-2012

so thats ~£170 all in. give or take,. did the math, just forgot it, cba to do it again.

when do you expect this'll go ahead?

also, what would the specific upgrades of the set's you'd order have?

like, single/bimetallic, hard faced or not, what metal would they be made from, lighter/harder/stronger (faster)?

just wondering what you're thinking Smile
