Thats a familiar sight :lol:

Have you ever had a turbo fail on your car? Looks like the same brass parts of the thrust bearing that i had in my sump. Read this:

hard to say what these bits are but i would hazard a guess at the inner oil pump cover as it goes round the crank, or possibly a broken turbo thust bearing.

shine a torch up towards the front crank oil seal (inside sump with the pickup pipe removed and see if theres anything snapped off that




lol quick off the draw there marky

the last owner did say it had, had a new turbo. now i know what happened to the old one.

the bits were stuck in the oil strainer and didn't come out without a tap or 3. and no metal came out in a recent oil change. i'll be taking the sump off every oil change from now on i think.
