1. What engines and models are these connecting rods compatible with?

These maXpeedingrods H-beam conrods are made for the Mercedes‑Benz M270 DE16 1.6T engine. Fitments include multiple W176, W246, C117 and X156 variants such as A160/A180/A200 (W176), B160/B180/B200 (W246), CLA180/CLA200 (C117) and GLA180/GLA200 (X156) for the years listed in the product description. Confirm your engine code is M270 DE16 before purchasing.

2. What components are included in the kit?

The kit includes 4 brand new forged H‑beam connecting rods and 8 genuine 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts. An upgrade to ARP L19 bolts is available for an additional cost (not included by default).

3. What material and design are the rods made from?

Rods are forged from 4340 EN24 (aircraft chrome‑moly) steel and use an H‑beam design for high strength and stiffness suitable for racing and high‑performance applications.

4. What are the rod dimensions?

Center‑to‑center length: 152.2 mm. Big end diameter: 45 mm. Small end diameter: 20 mm. Big and small end widths are not specified in the description.

5. Are the rods weight matched?

Yes — the set is balanced to a tolerance of +/- 1 gram for the set.

6. Do these rods come with a warranty?

Yes. The product description lists a 2‑year warranty. For warranty claims, contact the seller or manufacturer with proof of purchase and details of the defect.

7. Can I reuse the supplied ARP 2000 bolts or should I replace them?

ARP 2000 bolts are high‑strength fasteners intended for one proper installation cycle. Many engine builders recommend replacing bolts after disassembly — consult ARP documentation and your engine builder. An L19 upgrade is available if you need a higher strength fastener.

8. Should I have these installed by a professional?

Yes. Proper installation requires correct torque/stretch procedures, assembly lubrication, checking clearances (big‑end, small‑end, piston pin, and crank journals), and balancing. Have an experienced engine builder or machinist perform the install.

9. Are these rods suitable for racing or tuned engines?

Yes — they are forged 4340 EN24 H‑beam rods designed for high‑performance and racing use on the M270 DE16 1.6T. For very high power or extreme use, consider upgrading to ARP L19 bolts and consult with your engine builder about additional reinforcements.

10. Do these rods require any machining before installation?

The description does not list required pre‑machining. However, it is common practice to check and, if necessary, lightly size or polish bores, check bearing clearances, and verify big‑end and small‑end fitment before assembly. Follow your engine builder's recommendations.

11. How do these rods compare to OEM connecting rods?

Compared with many stock rods, forged 4340 EN24 H‑beam rods offer improved strength and fatigue resistance for higher rpm and boost applications. They are typically preferred for performance builds, but always ensure compatibility and proper balancing when replacing OEM rods.

12. Is installation hardware included for all four rods?

The kit includes 8 genuine 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts, which provide the necessary fasteners for the four rods (two bolts per rod cap).

13. What should I do if a part is missing or defective on arrival?

Contact the seller/manufacturer immediately with your order number, photos of the package and parts, and a description of the issue. Use the 2‑year warranty coverage as needed and follow the seller's return/warranty process.

14. Is there an option to upgrade the bolts to ARP L19?

Yes. The product description states there is an extra cost option to upgrade to ARP L19 bolts — contact the seller to request this upgrade and confirm pricing and availability.
