 |
|
| Hello, I’m looking for a set of connecting rods for my AHU Tdi. I don’t need anything fancy I’m not making more than stock power, but it is pushing Vanagon so I want something beefy and durable. What are some of the options out there that people trust? Thank you, Paolo. |

Thomas from this website always has good components for sale. Give him a call. The prices are acceptable. You can probably find them cheaper somewhere else, but with him you 100% know what you’re getting, and it’s the good quality stuff

| If you're only planning on stock power or even 2X stock power, then the stock rods are fully up to the task regardless of the engine being in a Vanagon. Save your money for a DMF and transaxle upgrades. |

My thoughts exactly. I would have a machine shop check them and bring back to spec if needed. They could also balance the rods and the pistons if you’re inclined. |
