Pistons & Rings

Pistons and piston rings are key components of any combustion engine, responsible for converting combustion energy into mechanical motion. They operate in extreme conditions where high temperatures and pressures require precise design and durability. At the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including pistons and piston rings, fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.

What are the functions of pistons and piston rings?

Pistons and piston rings play key roles in the engine operation process:

• Pistons – Move in the cylinders, converting the energy created by the combustion of the fuel-air mixture into linear motion that drives the crankshaft.
• Piston rings – They provide a seal between the piston and the cylinder walls, preventing leakage of exhaust gases and oil. They consist of three types:
• Sealing ring – Prevents gases from leaking from the combustion chamber.
• Scraper Ring – Removes excess oil from the cylinders.
• Carrier Ring – Distributes the pressure of the piston across the cylinder, minimizing wear.

The joint action of the pistons and rings ensures high engine efficiency, durability and minimal fuel and oil consumption.

Why is it worth taking care of pistons and piston rings?

Neglecting the condition of pistons and piston rings can lead to serious engine problems, such as:

• Loss of compression – Leads to loss of power and increased fuel consumption.
• Oil consumption – Oil entering the combustion chamber can cause smoking and exhaust contamination.
• Cylinder Damage – Wear to the cylinder walls can result in expensive repairs.

At Global Parts we offer original used pistons and piston rings , which have undergone extensive quality testing, ensuring their durability and performance.

How to choose the right pistons and piston rings?

When selecting pistons and piston rings, there are several key aspects to consider:

• Vehicle Model Matching – Every engine has its own specific requirements. At Global Parts you will find pistons and piston rings tailored to BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Mini and more.
• Technical condition – Check that the pistons are free from cracks, pitting or other damage and that the rings are fully functional.
• Dimensions and specifications – Make sure the pistons and rings are the correct diameter and height for your engine.

Why choose used pistons and piston rings?

Used car parts , such as pistons and rings, are a solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used pistons and piston rings , you gain:

• Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
• Ecology – Recycling car parts reduces waste and supports environmental protection.
• Wide range – In our shop you will find pistons and rings for the most popular car brands.

How to care for pistons and piston rings?

In order for pistons and piston rings to function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules:

• Change your engine oil and filters regularly to prevent deposits and dirt build-up.
• Monitor engine operation – symptoms such as smoking or loss of power may indicate problems with the pistons or rings.
• When remanufacturing or replacing pistons and rings, use high-quality parts to ensure engine durability and performance.
