Refundable Core Charge

If a product you are purchasing has a core charge you will see it in your shopping cart under the product.

A core charge is a little like a bottle deposit. You pay a core charge when you buy a rebuildable product, and get your money back when you return the core.

Cores are the used parts that may be returned when purchasing rebuildable parts. New, used, and remanufactured products may have a core charge. We send cores to our rebuilders to create a remanufactured part. Having a core charge on most rebuildable parts helps us keep our prices low, is a great way to recycle, and ensures there is product available for the next customer. If a core deposit is shown, this charge will be added to your total at the time of sale but is refundable upon the return of your rebuildable original part. Cores are valuable to us; we need them back on a timely basis to be rebuilt so we have product to sell to the next customers. (See core return policy under warranties and return for more info)

If you have any concerns or questions about the core charge or shipping charges, please call us at 586.757.2300.

VW connecting rod bearing set. Rod bearings support the connecting rods where they join to the crankshaft. A lot of cold starts and driving longer between oil changes speed up the wear on rod bearings. If you are planning on taking the pistons out, changing the rod and crankshaft bearings at the same time is a smart plan. Buy 1 set for 4 connecting rods.

Condition: New

Warranty

All products carry a 100 day warranty. Engines, cylinder heads, and injection pumps carry an extended 12 month warranty. See our warranty page for details.

Do-it-Yourself Tip

When you install the VW connecting rod bearing set, be sure to use a high quality assembly lube to protect your engine during the initial startup. After your engine is broken in make sure to keep your engine properly lubricated with a high quality synthetic oil to prevent damage on internal components.
