Title: flat head pistions
Post by: TGarrett123 on 27 June 2013, 18:12

hi all, does the 2002 1.8T mk4 have flat head pistions as standard? Or not. Cheers  :smug:

i`m not 100% sure, but due to it being a turbo (low compression) i assume it has bit of a concave crown??..
i`m pretty sure they have valve cut-outs too.

Think mine were flat with no cut-outs when my cambelt decided to go and cost me too much money.

50% chance I'm talking codsh!t though..
