Sorry to bother you since I probably will not be buying from you. I live in France, so the transport price will be expensive have seen on German eBay pistons for engine code
CS and JX (campmobile/bus), the price is right, 185 euro with sales tax, but my engine is a
SB; I do not know if they will fit, can you help me. I have written to the guy selling and he does not know!!
:?

Is it a 1.6 or a 1.9? Is it turbo or NA?

The SB is a 1.6 turbo from a Passat from about 1989 (it is also used in the Golf Mk2.What I am afraid of is that the JX 1.6 TD do not use the oil jets, but if all vw 1.6 TD use oil jets then there should be no problem, but I cannot find engine code JX in Bentley nor in my other books

any 1.6 TD VW piston will fit, just be sure it has the oil squirter cutouts..

Excellent,
tip for you..
Tell the shop to leave the bores a bit on the loose side of the factory spec in the manual.. The motor will rev easier and won't feel tight..

What do you consider "a bit on the loose side" of the spec in the Manual?
Just wondering.

Section C # 4
Tight would be .02mm -- loose would be .05 .. If they'll cooperate, have them get closer to .05

Hi Myke, is it possible to supply 1 piston only in 77.01 mm?
I have a block that has one piston damaged, the rest is like new, only 5000 miles on a rebuild.

I know what the VW Spec is, I have the manual. There seems to be many conflicting opinions about this spec from different Shops. There are as many different opinions as there are different shops.
I'm just looking for information based on actual fact and experience.
Thanks for responding with your information.
