Hi

What are the different sizes on 1.8t connecting rods and which enginecodes uses which?

I know about the small end diameter difference, 20mm vs 19mm 

But what about the width of the connecting rods?

Width?
Theyre same except of piston pin size that you mentioned

Are you really sure?
I'm a bit confused about the width.

Some H-beam measures 24.95mm in width, with 20mm piston pin.

And others just 19.95 in width. And tapered 19mm pin.

Yes you are right but I dont know why is that. Don't buy those

Ah, so it is a manufacturing mistake, got it.
Sadly I have already bought those H-beam rods.
So the rods are totally useless scrapmetal.

Can those rods fit some other VAG engine?
Maybe 1.4 TSI engine?

Interesting question
i made this mistake once but i didnt understand which engine does have the smaller width and why
I dont see why the whole rod needs to be less width only because the piston/small end is smaller in width

Center to center length: 144mm/5.67"
Big end diameter: 50.6mm/1.992"
Small end diameter: 19mm /0.748"( tapered small end)
Big end width: 19.9mm /0.784"
Small end width: 19.9mm/0.784"

Center to center length: 144mm/≈5.66929 in.
Big end diameter: 50.6mm/≈1.99212 in.
Small end diameter: 20mm/≈0.7874 in.
Big end width: 24.9mm/≈0.98032 in.
Small end width: 24.9mm/≈0.98032 in.

Sadly I think quite a lot of people over the years have bought those H-beam rods.

Hopefully they notice the size difference fast, and they got their money back.

Difficult to source H-beam rods with tapered 19mm small end and 24.95 width.
I can only find those rods with wrong width measurements.

Correct rods but with 20mm small end is easy to get.
But I need to get new pistons with 20mm piston pins.
