Lucky it was just VW parts, and not even MORE expensive aftermarket stuff.
I had a couple of failures like that before upgrading to some strong rods and Pistons.
Make sure you get good gudgeon pins too.

Cold failure of a rod like that(and Mahle piston and pin) is common at about 300 FW HP.
Especially if the rod has had an "experience" in its past.

Damm, brings a tear to my eye.

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·

Hence why Troy bit the bullet and bought some carillo rods and new barrels and CP pistons. Not worth the risk.
