TPS have just informed me these were obselete from 01/03/10 onwards, part # 031105701A.
Does anyone have an alternative part # for the PY/1W ?
Cheers

agra engineering in dundee would manage to get some i would think. i got from there a couple years ago.
-
Managed to order some from Bartek (got a trade account with them) so wasn't too bad in the end! Thanks anyway

Agra engineering got mine for me too yesterday!

i obtained my engine bearings from "I B ENGINEERING" in nuneaton. they sourced the KS oem spec bearings for me and the whole lot came to £96! that was for crank and rod bearings. i got little end rod bushes from VW themselves which came to just below £40.
i didnt have to do a thing either- took them the block and the cranks etc etc and they sorted out all the correct sizes and all that. very good service indeed!

I got a set of Glyco's from barftek, but they were expensive!
RS engine supplies are your best bet, Nick can get KS listed as "heavy duty" spec for about £30 iirc. Really helpful guy as well!

I can second that i got a set of ks from nick at rs engine supplies realy helpful bloke aswell

This is interesting. Do all of the above companies have websites or are they mostly machine shops?
Also, a quick question, does anyone know if an ABD crank fits a 1W block? If so, which main bearings would be used, 1W or ABD?

Not so sure the abd gives the same stroke as a 1w. Think the abd is a 1391cc and 1w is a 1398 iirc. Crank on the 1w is harder than the abd too.

www.mohlis.de or german ebay for glyco or ks bearings!
they pop arround on ebay very often.
