Unfortunately not without considerable work and ingenuity.  VW use a heavy
plastic end that is drilled and tapped to mount the valve.  The US cores use
a thin brass casing.  A good repair shop could solder a heavy piece of brass
onto the casing in order to mount the valve.  Could wind up costing as much
as a replacement VW core.  Both the cores I bought were C$20.
