0AW321191D Volkswagen ROD

These guys take the up and down motion of the pistons – think of your legs pumping when you’re riding a bike – and turn it into the circular motion that eventually spins your wheels. Basically, it's a link between the piston and the crankshaft. It’s a pretty simple part, honestly, just a metal rod with bearings at each end, but it’s gotta be strong. It’s a core part of your engine’s bottom end. It's right there inside the engine block, working with the pistons, crankshaft, and bearings to create the power. If you imagine the engine as a muscle, the connecting rods are a big part of the skeletal structure that makes the whole thing work. Well, if a connecting rod fails, it's bad news. Really bad. It usually means a complete engine failure. It’s under a lot of stress with every single explosion happening inside your engine. They’re designed to take a beating, but eventually, wear and tear, or sometimes just age, can cause them to bend or break. You’ll notice if one goes bad pretty quickly – usually a really loud knocking sound, loss of power, and a check engine light. They’re definitely not something you want to put off fixing. A lot of guys will replace all of them when rebuilding an engine just to be safe. You can find quality connecting rods – and all the bearings you'll need to go with them – over at Fixparts Online, if you're thinking of doing the work yourself. They’re a critical component, and keeping them in good shape is key to a long – lasting engine. Year-round reliability: Connecting Rod (MPN 0AW321191D) includes a 12-month warranty!
