Metal valve caps

Post by Rusty Racer » Sun Nov 05, 2023 10:07 am

Basically don’t fit them if you have TPMS metal valves.

I did, a year ago and thought they were a big improvement on the dirty plastic OEM fitment.

Problem came getting them off… :thumbsdown: should have thought it through better but every day is a school day. Got 3 off but 1 broke the valve stem clean off just above the retaining nut. Luckily TPS had a replacement and the pressure held until I got it changed - apparently a common issue 420 601 361 A if you need it.
