The four bushings are untouched in the factory-sealed KS plastic pouch, oil-preserved, with bright running surfaces. The box shows clear storage marks: label yellowed, corners knocked, slight lid deformation. The bushings are sold untested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:22px 0 8px;\"\u003eFunction and location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conrod bushing is the plain bearing between the piston pin and the connecting rod. It is pressed into the small end of the conrod and accommodates the oscillating movement of the piston pin. A steel backing provides a firm fit, and a sintered lead-bronze running layer enables the high surface pressure in diesel operation. The SEMI version offered here is pre-manufactured with an undersize inner diameter and must be bored or reamed to final size after pressing in – a classic engine-rebuilder's part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bushing sits in the small (upper) end of each connecting rod, directly under the piston. 4 pieces are needed per 4-cylinder engine; this set is a complete engine set. Housing bore 27.000–27.052 mm, width 25.0 mm, pin final size 24.0 mm. Replacement is only possible with the engine disassembled and should be carried out by specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:22px 0 8px;\"\u003eCompatible vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the following VAG models with 1.6-liter and 1.7-liter swirl chamber diesel engines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Golf I (1980–1983): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Golf II (1983–1991): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Jetta I (1980–1991): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Jetta II (1980–1991): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Passat \/ Passat Variant (1980–1993): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Santana: 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Caddy I (1982–1992): 1.6 D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Transporter III bus \/ panel van \/ pickup (1981–1992): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD, 1.6 TD Syncro, 1.7 D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi 80 (1980–1986): 1.6 D, 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi 90: 1.6 TD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kolbenschmidt 87344690, cross-reference number Glyco 55-3443\/4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f5f6f8;border-left:4px solid #c69a3a;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003e⚠ Important: compare the part number before buying\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eThese bushings are designed exclusively for 1.6- and 1.7-liter swirl chamber diesel engines.
