hey guys just a quick question here, currently in the process of changing out a bent conrod in my 200tdi after hydrolocking.... was just wondering if there is any problem with using a second conrod as a replacement or does it have to be a brand new one? just wondering if the way the bearings ware on the rod would cause a problem here?

thanks:)
 
actualy while im thinkin bout it..... shells, is it better to replace with new ones or reuse the ones already there because that have worn with the crank?
 
I used a second hand one a few months ago when I repaired mine after a hydrolock. I replaced all the bearings while it was apart.
 
I fitted a second hand rod to a 110 Tdi just before christmas with no issue,actually the worst bit was getting the bent rod out,it wouldn't go up through the bore without some "modification".
