tanged bearings from an early 1.8T such as AWD engine code.

Use Clevite "P" series bearings by the way... and btw... to balance a crankshaft, you simply un-intsall the crank, take it to a machine shop with your total bob weight... and your done. And yes, different flywheels etc. could affect the overall balance of a crankshaft, a car motor is designed from Vw. with exact weights, when you change that.... you change the dynamics of the motors balance. thus = the need to make the new components work in sync with the old.

The new 1.8T AWD bearings fit like a glove!

Subscribed. What do you think caused? if Edition 30 has K04 overseas it cant be the k04. was it the software you think? hpfp?

Just trying to understand how others can avoid.

Hope the fix goes well.

Holy sh!t !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not seen anything like that before from a K04 with mods.

I'm hoping that the internals that the ED30 has in the EU will be enough to avoid something like this in our cars. There are quite a few people in the UK with ED30's that are modded to well over 300whp.

Hope you get it sorted soon Zigger.:thumbsup:

The K04 2.0T FSI engine comes with stronger rods and forged low compression pistons

I am so upset I have no clue what caused it . VW denied my ass on the spot. Thet took pictures wrote down all my part numbers ie /injectors/turbo ect..and told me to fuck off. I personally think that this rod is a manufacture defect but VW won't even listen right now. I am taking the rod to a special company that inspects these type if things and if I have enough time lol start a claim against VW.
I finally have all the parts coming in tomorow.. 1 new pistion and wrist pin. IE rods and 1.8T awd bearings than start the rebuild. I'm thinking that now I can atleast beat the shit out of my car now lol and down the road I can go gt3071 or bigger :headbang:
