H beam conrods OEM bearings Audi A3 2t

[briby]

This is the reason for new piston/conrod sets.Can anyone help with this question. Have purchased InterEngineering/JE piston set, they didn't have beargins in stock so went with OEM beargings. IE rods have bearing slots, beargings do not have a tag, neither did original rods. Will it be ok to fit the OEM bearings to these rods. I now see on their site, the ACL bearings have a tag to suit the rods. Does anyone know a supplier in Oz who may have bearings in stock.
Cheers Guys

Don't quote me but I reckon you need bearings from an early 1.8 VW. To be sure I'd be emailing IE or checking VWVortex/facebook for the definitive answer.

Thanks Gavin,
Will be checking, bought from CTS turbo, will probably order from them tonight, interesting they list their brgs for 4cyl VW, guess that covers 1.8 & 2.0l. Just wanted to check, i was a VW mechanic over 25yrs ago. Never even thought that brgs/rod wouldn't have tags/slots. Looks like i'll be waiting a bit longer.
cheers

All the diesel bearings ive ever bought have the tags too... I would almost bet they are all the same.

Tooley Imports will have bearings in stock.
