Important Fitment Information
This package uses 83.00mm oversize JE forged pistons.
The relevant EA888 Gen 3 engines use an 82.50mm factory bore, so this kit is intended for an engine rebuild where the block will be professionally machined to the required 83.00mm bore specification.
This is not the standard-bore version of the rebuild kit.
For engines remaining at the original bore specification, see our 82.50mm Standard Bore EA888 Gen 3 Forged Rebuild Package.
Because VW/Audi engine codes and internal specifications can vary between markets and production years, we strongly recommend confirming your engine code and required piston specification before ordering.
If you're unsure, contact The Parts Cartel with your vehicle details and engine code and we can assist with confirming the correct rebuild package.
