I am in the middle of an engine rebuild and I need new exhaust valves.
I know there are other manufacturers that make valves than TRW, but I
want TRW's.  Neither I or my Mechanic can locate the valves, according
to VWoA's system there are 5 valves in the US at various dealerships,
but this hasn't been verified.  If anyone could help me locate some (4)
I'd appreciate it.  Here are the specifics:

QTY    VW P/N            DESC
 4         025 109 612A   Exhaust valve for Wasserboxer 2.1 (Sodium
Filled)

For those who have been following my rebuild I received the parts back
from Gene Berg Monday, which included the crank, rods, flywheel, clutch
and pressure plate.  All were balanced and look great.  I have some
pictures of the balanced parts but haven't developed the film yet.  I
ordered a set of Mahle pistons/cylinders, I had some Cofab's but there
was as much 4 grams difference between the pistons, which is too far off

to balance and would have defeated all of the balancing to everything
else.
