Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello Guys.
preparing for my engine for the build, I would like to replace the case dowels.
the parts list is a bit confusing and I will appreciate your help.
so this is what I got.
1. Part # 999 012 049 00 (#2 in the diagram) is showing as 3 needed. I have only 2, and based on my records should be located on the bank1 half case in the locations marked with the yellow circle.
is there a location for the third one?
2. Part # 996 101 361 51 (#3 in the diagram) shows that only one is needed, but I have 2 of them (missing the 3rd one), but my records show I had 3, and their position is marked with the red circle.
thanks in advance.
Nice aluminum nik'd sleeves. Lookin good..!!!! Better machine in extra dowel pin to hold that monster together....jk
4111.41cc should make that a beast....

My records show I installed the hollow ones shown in your pic and the solid ones in the two positions in yellow. So far my engine is still running!
I have a video that I took before shipping out the block, showing the hollow ones in the red and the solid ones in the yellow.
I just don�t understand how come the PET is showing 3 solid ones needed when I have only 2, and 1 hollow when obviously 3 are needed.
maybe the PET is wrong?
I have found numerous small errors like this in PET and VW's parts catalog is even worse.
And don't get me started on all the errors in the wiring diagrams.

I too questioned this since the kit I bought from LN had more dowels than I needed. I searched forums and internet for references to the dowels as well as pictures as well as my own pictures to conclude the picture you have shown is correct.
