The Wacker Neuson Piston Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70Le reversible vibratory plate compactor series, including the DPU 100-70Le VIBROPLATE and DPU100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this OEM assembly ensures the engine operates to the same tolerances and compression specs as the original build. It fits both the DPU 100-70 () and DPU 100-70Les () machine configurations, making it the correct choice when rebuilding or overhauling the engine on these heavy-duty diesel plate compactors. Verifying your machine's model number against part number before ordering is always recommended.
Key Features
- OEM Compression Integrity — Manufactured to the original bore diameter and ring-groove tolerances, ensuring proper combustion chamber sealing and consistent compression output across the engine's service life.
- Complete Assembly — Supplied as a full Piston Complete unit, so rings, pin, and related hardware are included as the OEM intended — simplifying the rebuild process and reducing the chance of mismatched components.
- Direct Fitment for DPU 100-70Le Models — Confirmed fit for the DPU 100-70Le VIBROPLATE (5000610320) and DPU100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate (5000610344) platforms.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly fitted piston maintains the centrifugal force and engine power that these heavy-duty reversible DPU compactors rely on for deep-lift soil and aggregate compaction. A worn or failed piston causes loss of compression, hard starting, and significantly reduced plate force.
- Fuel System Safety Compliance — Proper piston sealing prevents blow-by gases from contaminating the crankcase and fuel system, keeping combustion pressures within safe operating limits for the diesel engine.
The piston is the reciprocating heart of a diesel engine — it converts the force of combustion into the crankshaft rotation that ultimately drives the exciter unit and generates the vibratory compaction force in a DPU plate compactor. When a piston wears, scores, or cracks, compression drops, fuel burns inefficiently, and the machine loses the plate force needed to compact soil and aggregate to spec. Replacing the piston complete as a full assembly — rather than individual components — ensures all mating surfaces and tolerances are correctly matched from the start, giving the engine a clean foundation for reliable operation after the rebuild.
