OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

REBUILT Waterboxer Connecting Rods, 1.9 & 2.1L, Balanced, Set of 4
Waterboxer Connecting Rods, 1.9 & 2.1L, Balanced, Set of 4
Image shows 1 rod, but this is a set of 4 matched rods for this part #.


 
Waterboxer Connecting Rods, 1.9 & 2.1L, Balanced, Set of 4 are based from magnafluxed German Rod cores. New bolts, Machined, honed, and new small end bushings are put in, then micro balanced (overall and end to end). These have non-stretch rod bolts, and can be used on both 1.9 and 2.1L WBX engines.

Price is for a matched set of 4 to do one engine!

FYI, the 1.9L WBX engine had non-stretch bolts in the rods. These are very strong. The 2.1L WBX engine had stretch bolts, which are a common source of failure. Externally the rods are dimensionally identical. These are basically rebuild 1.9L WBX rods, which is a big UPGRADE for the 2.1L WBX engine (rods are much stronger and longer lasting due to the improved rod bolt design).

Price: $249.95
Country of Manufacture or Origin: REBUILT IN USA


Availability: Sporadic / Depends on availability of rebuildable cores
: WATERBOXER-CON-RODS-RB
