Can anyone help me and avoid my 2003 1.8T becoming a scrapper?
I blew the head gasket big-time and due to it 'hydraulicing' I now need to replace 2 con-rods.
No-one, it seems, can source these as they are particular to the 1.8T engine. The current manufacturers have no stock and cannot even quote a projected delivery.
The part number stamped on the rod is LFF 000410, although new they come as a set with piston and, I think, the liner.
Without this my lovely, 60,000 mile 1.8T Conn will be heading for the scrap yard sometime soon.
