Product Details
JE Pistons is well-known for making strong, reliable forged pistons that have proven themselves on the race track for over 75 years. This set of six pistons is specifically made for the 2.8L VR6 24V engine found in your 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf and 2002-2004 Jetta. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine for higher performance or just need a solid replacement, these pistons are built to handle the demands of a performance application.
These pistons are forged in the USA from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its high tensile strength, which is essential for engines pushed beyond stock limits. They feature JE Pistons' proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps minimize friction and power loss by reducing skirt width and using a shorter wrist pin, saving weight in the process. Depending on the specific application, they may also include an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, improving ring seal and preventing flutter. A skirt coating, also application-dependent, further reduces friction and wear on the cylinder walls while helping to quiet down engine noise.
This kit comes complete with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings, so you have everything you need to get your engine back together. They are designed specifically for your VR6 24V engine to optimize performance and durability. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
