G60 PG Big End Shells - Oil hole or not?

[wolfsburg85 0]

Hi,

I'm looking for a quick bit of advice on the big-end bearing shells on a G60 PG engine.

 

I have read numerous recommendations that Mk3 Golf TDI Big-End bearing shells are a good "upgrade" to the standard G60 shells.

 

I have picked up a set of the TDI shells but they don't have an oil hole in them. Is this correct? As I know the current shells in the engine do have them.

 

Any help much appreciated

 

Cheers

I'd like to know this as well as I have some Mahle shells in the garage which I am not sure are the right ones or not...

 

What are the part numbers on yours?

I'll check when I get back from work on the shells themselves for some numbers - I got them from GSF (GSF Part Number 16193C). They are KS bearings by the way.
