Description

Built from strong, well-made steel, these Carrillo Pro-A connecting rods are designed for performance VW 1.8T 16V, 2.0L 16V (9a), and 2.2L engines. The Pro-A series uses a specific I-beam profile that offers a good balance of strength and weight, making it a popular choice for builds that demand more than stock components can handle. These rods are forged from high-grade steel, ensuring they can withstand the increased stresses of higher horsepower and torque applications. The included WMC bolts are a robust fastening solution, designed to keep the rod securely attached under extreme operating conditions. These connecting rods are a critical component for anyone rebuilding or significantly upgrading their engine. They are engineered to handle higher cylinder pressures and rotational forces, which is essential when you're pushing the limits of your 1.8T, 2.0L 16V, or 2.2L VW engine. The precision machining and balanced design contribute to smoother engine operation and improved reliability, even under demanding use. Carrillo is known for its durable engine components, and this set of connecting rods reflects that reputation, offering a solid foundation for a high-performance engine build. This set is designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A4, Audi TT, and Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Passat. When installing, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications and assembly procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These rods are a special order item, so please confirm fitment for your specific application before ordering, as cancellations are not possible once placed.
