Connecting Rod Bearing Set - VW/Audi All VR6 12v & 24v / 2.8L & 3.2L | 021198501B-GLY

Glyco advanced engine bearing technologies withstand heavy loads and cope with the increasingly challenging conditions of modern, environmentally-friendly engines

Glyco is the world’s largest manufacturer of OE-quality bearings. Every year, our engine bearings are fitted on more than 10 million engines around the world - from small bore engines to heavy-duty commercial vehicles and stationary engines.

Driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions, today’s engines extract more power from less fuel. Due to the increased temperature and load, conventional bearings struggle to cope. Thanks to over 100 years of innovation, Glyco provides bearings with advanced metallurgy that can withstand these challenges.

Federal-Mogul invented Glyco Sputter Bearings with twice the service life of conventional bearings. Glyco developed G-188, the first intelligent bearing material, and were also first to launch a full lead-free material portfolio. Recent innovations include the highly durable Glyco IROX bearing shells, which address the challenges of hybrid, stop-start and downsized engines.

Features and Benefits:

• Original Equipment Quality
• Excellent wear resistance
• Low propensity to seize
• Reduction in Friction

FITS: All VR6 engines including 24v and R32.
