WTB: vw part # 028 198 153 A should be a piston ring set for 79.75mm bore. I have a set of pistons that needs them. Let me know, you canadian guys may have some, so I am not afraid of that at all.
I'm pretty sure I can order those in. I'll try to remember to check tomorrow. If you don't hear from my by the end of the day send me an IM
1Z and AHU TDI motors use the same rings.
Yes they are the same, so is the ALH from what I have read. But finding an oversize ring from someone other than Prothe is hard to do. Especially when I have the first oversize .010" not .020" over. My dealer said he can get them but it is pricey at 170.00 so I figure I would ask the forums. I think I should be under 100.00 with shipping, but no one seems to have them.

I don't understand what just happened but I found the .25mm over at rock auto. I searched before with nothing and these are the best rings I think they make IMHO.
We will see BYM but I think I may go here. Thanks guys
Edit:
They don't have a full set of 4 for me now,
Did you try the German diesel guy in LA?
No I put feelers out to BYM and Myke W and everyone I can think of. I am waiting for pricing from everyone.
