Hello, fellow XUD tinkerers!
I found that XUD7 and XUD9 motors had at least 3 different conrod part numbers:
XUD9 1.9D 0603 77
XUD7TE 1.8TD 0603 45
XUD7 1.7D 0603 77
XUD9SD 0603 77
XUD9TE 0603 90
So, atmospheric and Suction diesel (low pressure turbodiesel) shared the same conrods, 1.8TD and 1.9TD had their own.
Does anyone know differences between these three?
Also, what is the benefit of using HDi conrods? In XUD7TE? XUD9TE? Quote below explains XUD9 having a weak sport. What about XUD7?

They just have a weakness seemingly around the little end area - if you look at the wrist of a XUD9 vs a HDi conrod, you'll see that it actually goes smaller underneath the pin on an XUD9, whereas a HDi is almost straight downwards, there's just a lot more meat there...
Shame they still snap lol... The cranks and rods are forged, the pistons, however are not...
