Important Fitment Information
This package uses 82.50mm standard-bore JE forged pistons.
It is intended for an engine remaining at the original bore specification. The engine block should still be professionally inspected and measured to confirm that the bores are suitable for the specified pistons and clearances before assembly.
For engines requiring an oversize bore during rebuilding, see our 83.00mm Oversize 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.
