Forged Rods

[ally406]

kinda makes sense jp, my dhx was from an R reg xantia, ran 40psi of boost for about 8 months, engines still fine now.

I would be surprised Padge, the DW10 didn't start to appear in vehicles until '99 I believe, so I doubt parts of it would be fitted to an engine that age. If you ever find out it would be useful to know.

Well I have an early D8A so the likelihood is mine are made of wensleydale! Interesting that the later ones had the DW10 rods though, another example of the peugeot parts bin I suppose!

As for the DW10CTED4 rods, do they fit and are they an upgrade to the normal DW10's? Also is availability, sod all on ebay and there's no point spending hundreds at a dealer.......

Wish I'd bloody noticed before I bought rods, shells then ripped the block to bits. I could have used it as is

I would expect that as they are in engines that output 250lb/ft torque they would have to be stronger. I haven't heard any stories of them chucking rods. A quick read turns up that they are fitted to the 407, 407 coupe and C5 VTR after 2008 (and no doubt many others if you have time to read up). If you see one in a breakers yard, might be worth investigating......
