Due to wear and heat, these bushings become rough and inaccurate after years of service, which manifests as knocking around the piston. For T2a, T2b, and Type 4 engines, this is a reliable OEM replacement. Combine this with a new piston pin and connecting rods for a complete overhaul of the cylinder head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f9f9f6; border-left: 4px solid #2d6a35; border-radius: 4px; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; color: #2d6a35; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; font-size: 0.88em; color: #333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2d6a35; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eSuitable for VW T2 Bus with Type 4 engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; font-size: 0.88em; color: #333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2d6a35; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eOEM reference number 021 105 431A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; font-size: 0.88em; color: #333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2d6a35; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eAvailable individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 4px 0; font-size: 0.88em; color: #333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2d6a35; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eEssential maintenance part for drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #e0e0d8; border-radius: 4px; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; color: #555; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.06em; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.88em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #777; width: 45%;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #1a1a1a; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eVW T2 Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #777;\"\u003eYear of construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #1a1a1a; font-weight: 500;\"\u003eType 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #777;\"\u003eOEM comparison number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #1a1a1a; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e021 105 431A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 0; color: #777;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/Mahle_800x800.png?v=1776367101\" alt=\"Mahle\" title=\"Mahle\" style=\"height: 24px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #777; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003eMahle\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BBT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57293602849100,"sku":"1603-3","price":3.12,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/1603-3.jpg?v=1777571476","url":"https:\/\/vintagedub.com\/products\/bbt-1603-3","provider":"VintageDub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
