Yes, but I now know 3 people who've smashed HDi rods...
Frankly I dunno whether I should bother, I may as well save for a set of forgies... But my mind says if you're getting forged rods, then doing it without forged pistons is silly... If you rip the skirt off a piston spinning it too fast, it's going to wipe out the conrod also...
I know no one has done it yet, but it could quite easily happen with the weight of the standard pistons...
And I've just done 94 miles to £20 of fuel... Ahh now I remember why I don't like the GTi6...
