Some 1.9 diesel engine conrod specs.
1Y IDI NA = 150mm long, gud pin 24mm
AAZ IDI TD = 144mm long, gud pin 26mm
1Z TDI = 144mm long, gud pin 26mm
I investigated a longer conrod rod for the petrol engines a while back. Here is some more info on CGTI.

ABA has 159mm length, and a 22mm wrist pin.
how come the diesels have SHORTER RODS than the mk3 2.0 ABA?
probably shorter rods for a longer stroke but keeping the same deck height?

dur de dur..
your right..
the TDI has a 95.5mm crank, not 90mm like the ABA.
Different rod lengths and pin sizes for for the 1Y and AAZ are probably down to the turbo pistons being more substantial to cope with boost.
ABA like the other 1984cc 82.5 x 92.8 gasser tall blocks (ABF 16v and 2E, AGG, ADY 8v) use a 159mm long rod and a 21mm pin.
Most of the gasser short blocks including 1595cc 81 x 77.4mm, 1781cc 81 x 86.4mm and 1984cc 82.5 x 92.8mm use a 144mm long rod with a 20mm pin. Some 1781cc 20vTs use a 144mm rod with a 19mm pin.
Earlier engines use a smaller bigend / crankpin journal.
Does anyone got more information about this rod length?
My local garage just replaced a 3 cylinder TDI engine in a Polo. It looks like a shorter PD engine judging by the cam cover.
Apparently it had been run with a duff injector that eventually filled the sump with diesel till it went runaway and boom.
If the old engine does not need to go back as an exchange I will try to grab it for dissection.
