    Bronze Bit in 200tdi Sump Oil - maybe crankshaft thrust washer

    Garrett T25 Thrust Washer Forgot to add some pics I found which have a similar groove and material colour. Question is should I keep an engine which has had turbo failure, that is if I reduce end float within tolerances. Mingdiesel
