Hi all,
I am looking for new piston rings for my KY vanny and can't seem to find them anywhere. Can anyone recommend a supplier that can ship outside of Europe?
Thanks!!

Re: 1.7 KY Piston Rings?
If you download the pdf HERE you will see that you need set No. C1888 which is common to numerous other models such as polo lupo passat bora sharan etc.
May help with getting them locally in S. America.
They seem to be around 80 £ or Euros, presumably plus vat here.

Re: 1.7 KY Piston Rings?
Hi - Upon revising this list, it seems that there are dozens of models with the same ring set # (C1888). The difference is the line # - 40 vs 41 and 42. Any idea what line number refers to? Everything else seems the same...
Excellent resource. THANKS!
