1.9 Rod Bolts

My local VW dealer tells me that the 1.9 rod bolts are no longer available?
Does someone out there know what the VW part # for these rod bolts? Perhaps if I had the part # the dealer may have a better chance @ finding them.
Thanks

to be honest I just used the bolts from a set of beetle con-rods. Sounds a bit naughty yeah, but they fit perfect and are easy to source.

If that's the case ARP ones might be the best choice.
Are there "less expensive" HiPo T1 bolts available?

Hi

I bought a set of rods from Pauter with ARP bolts already fitted, cant remeber how much but they were very reasonable.

As far as I could tell, the T1 and T4 1.7/2.0 bolts are all the same size, or at least appear functionally interchangable.

I also think they are the same price. (between the ARP #s)

The stock ones appear a thread or two longer, but that just sticks out anyway, and the ARP ones have special nuts, shorter, 12 point aircraft style, and the torque spec is almost double.
