Title: Ever Heard of "Osvat" Valves?
Post by: duffer on August 14, 2008, 01:12:22 pm

Most of the int. & exh. Valves
   I've bought are "TRW", but some
   suppliers offer valves made by
   "Osvat".

   Are these any good, bad, indifferent?

   Know anything about them?

   Thanks

You could try their website (http://www.osvat.com).

They're good. I prefer TRW, but Osvat makes the aftermarket valves for the 1.8T. So, they've gotta be good.

Well, thank you both for your responses.

  I notice that AutohausAZ and Altrom both sell
  the "Osvat" valves. They're significantly cheaper
  than the TRW valves.

  I bought the TRW valves because I, foolishly
  subscribe to the theory that the more it costs
  the better it is...a non sequitur if ever there
  was one  :) .

  Thanks again for your responses.
