Well, there's are the same then or they add an extra ring in the pack that does the other engine... and VW's are slightly different (but it doesn't matter - much
)
Not that i know a darned thing about them

I bought my 2.1 rings from Euro Car Parts. They are different from the 1.9 rings. Euro car parts sell both It is only the 3rd ring that is different.

Er, I thought DJ rings were thinner than the others.. MV/SS etc, were thought to be the same as the DG ones.. But I know not
