In my quest to solve the ticking problem in my 200TDI with only 5,700 miles, I pulled the oil sump (except for the 2 bolts that decided to leave half of themselves in the block), pulled the oil pump and its drive shaft. Started to notice some metal bits in sump and other places, NOT GOOD!
So on the drive shaft, the part that meets with the cam gear, one of the splines is missing, but I don't know if it's supposed to be like that for alignment or not. Is this the source of the metal bits in the engine and am I f*ed?
