The bus engine connecting rods are stronger and HEAVIER. look close and you can see the difference.
Are you sure? In what engine, the 1.7-1.8, or the 2.0? Or are you comparing 1.8 and 2.0 rods? The 2.0 rods have a smaller big end diameter, but it's the same part number, 039 198 401, for bus or 914. And for the 1.7-1.8 rods the number is 021 198 401, bus, 411 or 914.
