VW Connecting Rods

Volkswagen group engines are among the most frequently rebuilt in the world, spanning the EA111, EA113, EA211 and EA888 families in Golfs, Polos, Jettas and Passats as well as the Audi and Skoda models that share them. This category keeps the rods for those engines together, arranged by the OEM number stamped on the original part.

Small-displacement coverage includes the 1.0 TSI three-cylinder rod under 04C198401D, the EA111 rod under 036198401J and 036198401, the EA211 1.4 and 1.6 rod under 04E198401R with 04E198401AB, and the 1.4 TFSI rod listed as 04E105401AH. For the 1.8T 20V engines we list 06A198401E with 06A198401 and 058198401L, and for the 2.0T and 2.0 TDI units the numbers are 06H198401, 06H198401A and 06H198401D for EA888, plus 06J198401B, while the 2.0 TDI rod is listed as 038105401J. The 2.8L rod appears under 06E198401B with 500352497 and 500335629, and the 4340 forged H-beam set for 1.8T and 2.0T builds is listed as 4-TR-007-1/2/12/14.

Every rod in this range is a forged alloy-steel part, machined and then measured lot by lot so the bores and centre distance repeat. We supply factory direct with no minimum order on stock models, so sample and trial lots are welcome. Send the VIN or engine code, or the number from the old rod, and we will confirm the match first.
