ItemPart NumberDescription1-Pis t on2-Connect ing rod bearings3-Connect ing rod and cap ass emblyThe connect ing rods are 'L' profile forged with a t rapezium shaped (a s hape with 4 sides with 2 of it s s ides  parallel) s mall end. Thebig end has  a fract ure s plit  bearing cap, which gives  a s t able joint becaus e t he bearing cap and connecting rod are secured in t heact ual fract ure surface. Aluminium bearings  are us ed for both t he lower and upper bearing half.
The pist ons  are cast  from a light -alloy met al cons ist ing of aluminium and s ilicon. The pist on s kirt  is  graphite coated at  t he frontand rear to ens ure low frict ion bet ween t he pis ton and cylinder, part icularly during cold st art ing and during s hort  periods ofext reme load. The pis ton is  'weight opt imis ed', which means, for example, that t he pis t on pin is  comparat ively s hort and t hat  t hepis ton is  miss ing mat erial from t he s ides .
Each pis t on has  3 pis t on rings :
An upper compres sion ring of nit rat ed s teelA second ring of alloyed cast  iron, which funct ions as bot h a compress ion ring and an oil s craper ringA 3-part  oil ring made of nitrated s t eel

Each camshaft  is ret ained in t he cylinder head bythe cams haft hous ing. The int ake cams haft  is  equipped wit h a VCT unit  and also drives  the vacuum pump.
The intake camshaft  has  cam lobes wit h different  profiles. One for a small lift ing height  of 3.6 mm, and 1 for larger lift ing heightof 10.0 mm. The t ransit ion bet ween t he lift ing height s is cont rolled via the Cams haft Profile Swit ching (CPS) funct ion.
The exhaus t  cams haft  is  convent ional, i.e. only has a lifting height of 10.0 mm.

CPS is  a sys tem where t he int ake valves , at  engine s peeds  up to approximat ely 3000 rpm, have a s mall lifting height  of 3.6 mm,and at  s peeds  above approximat ely 3000 rpm, have a great er lift ing height  of 10.0 mm. CPS, in combinat ion wit h t he VCT funct ionmakes  it  poss ible to cont rol t he cylinders' incoming air quant it y in s uch a way that t he Electronic Throt t le Act uat or (ETA) can befully open. A fully open ETA, during operat ion, reduces t he pump los s es  cons iderably compared wit h when the amount  of int ake airis  controlled by t he ETA its elf. Reduced pump los s es , in turn, cause a reduction in fuel consumpt ion.

The crankshaft  is  made of forged s teel and has  induction hardened bearing s urfaces . There are 2 types  of aluminium main bearing:
W it h complet e oil duct s  for upper main bearings  2, 3, 5 and 6W it h short  oil ducts  for all lower and 1, 4 and 7 upper main bearings
Due t o mis s ing count er-weight s for cylinders 1 and 6 and s elected count er-balancing of the entire crankshaft , main bearings  1, 4and 7 are exposed t o great er loads t han the ot hers. To reduce t he load on the bearings , bearing shells  wit h s hort oil duct s areus ed. In addit ion, these main bearings have t heir own oil circuit  where t he oil is  not  dis tribut ed on t o t he connecting rod bearings.The 6t h main bearing als o works as a t hrus t  bearing.
A gear wheel is  crimped to t he rear edge of the crankshaft . The gear wheel drives  t he oil pump and the Rear End Ancillary Drive(READ) t iming gear.
The crankshaft  has  a vis cous vibration damper locat ed directly in front  of t he connecting rod pin for cylinder 1, i.e. located in theact ual cylinder block.
