VW 1.9L TDi I-Beam Connecting Rods (PD100/PD115) with L19 bolts

Audi / VW Diesel 1.9L & 2.0L TDI Connecting rods are manufactured from 4340 high tensile steel, they are designed for high performance, extreme durability and extra rigidity. These rods have a Tapered Pin End, so they are compatible with OEM pistons also. The bushings made from AMPCO 18 material for excellent resistance to wear and fatigue and have radial groove for oil reservoir. They are shot peened to relieve stress from the material and multi-stage heat treated to increase rigidity. The tight tolerances in the production process, ensure a perfect fitment while optimizing the oil clearances. Bend and twist is tightly controlled.Each rod includes ARP 2000 cap fasteners that are rated at 220,000psi, optional ARP Custom Age 625 material 280.00psi available as an upgrade and the whole kit is supplied with ARP moly and full fitting instructions.Note: For bore more than 79.50mm

Additional machining processes
