Product Description

The Arrowhead CON ROD BOLT is a critical engine fastener designed for secure connection of the connecting rod to the crankshaft in select Audi and Volkswagen models. This bolt is engineered to withstand the high stresses within the engine, ensuring reliable performance and structural integrity during operation.

This part is compatible with certain Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Due to variations in engine design and specifications, it is essential to confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.

Symptoms of a worn or damaged connecting rod bolt can include unusual engine knocking noises, loss of oil pressure, excessive engine vibration, or even catastrophic engine failure in severe cases. These issues often indicate that the bolt is no longer maintaining the required clamping force within the engine assembly.

Connecting rod bolts should be replaced whenever they show signs of wear, stretching, or damage, or during major engine overhauls. Always use new bolts during engine rebuilds, as reused or fatigued bolts can compromise engine safety and longevity.

Trust MiMi Auto Parts for the correct engine fasteners for your Audi or Volkswagen. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa and are always ready to assist you in selecting the right part for your vehicle.
