Connecting Rod Assembly for BYD Song Pro & Song L DM-i, OE 12798688-00

Use the fitment table on this page rather than the model names in the title. This rod fits a wide spread of BYD builds, so the title cannot name every one of them. Find your own model and build year in that table first, because that is what settles the question. If you want a second check, read the OE number 12798688-00 off the old rod or its packaging and compare it with the number shown here. Where your car is not in the table at all, send the details through the quote route and we will look at it.

That happens often. This rod carries the OE number 12798688-00, and it also carries the alternative reference 472QA-1004100. If either of those is stamped on your old rod, or printed on the box it came in, you are looking at the same part. References are also superseded over time, so a slightly different string is not proof of a mismatch on its own. Check your car against the fitment table on this page as well. If the number you hold matches neither of ours, send it through the quote route and we will trace it.

Allow 8 to 25 days for delivery, counted from your order to your door. Do not book the car in for a strip down until the part is in your hands. If the timing is tight against a workshop slot, tell us before you order. We will confirm what is realistic before you commit to a booking date. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay.

This rod is metal, and it is supplied new rather than reconditioned. We do not publish torque values or fitting figures for it, so work from the manual for your own engine when it goes in. If you want to confirm you have the right item before you reach that point, match the OE number 12798688-00 against the rod you have taken out.

This part sits in the engine bay, and the catalogue files it under Engine, in the Pistons, Rings and Bearings group. So you are working under the bonnet on the engine itself, not at a corner of the car or inside the cabin. We do not publish a fitting sequence for it, so follow the manual for your own engine. Before any of that, confirm your build in the fitment table on this page, then read the OE number 12798688-00 off the old part so you know the two agree.

Only the Original/Genuine part is listed here, built by BYD, and it is the version priced on this page. There is no Aftermarket line for it in our system, because no aftermarket maker has been sourced for this reference. So the decision is simply whether to take the genuine rod or not. If you have seen an alternative offered elsewhere under the reference 472QA-1004100 and want us to look at it, send the details through the quote route and we will tell you what we are able to do for your build.
