I've heard a story where a tractor threw a rod, and managed to put a hole in the block both sides of the engine. The driver got out, looked at it and could see daylight through the engine.....

Its the old scenario...... the GTi suffers from weak rods..... hence you need forged rods before you increase the power

And can be quite scary if it happen's on the motorway at 70mph. I remember it quite well when it happened to me because I did a unexpected poo that day and it wasn't even me driving
