Will order a set of bearings from Turners over the weekend, along with a camshaft bearing tool from eBay. I'll update how it goes, as an alternative to getting them done at a machine shop.

Thanks for the reply, I did some more reading since making this post and agree it seems normal. A few others have mentioned it online, but I'll check with Turners. What started off as a quick check over and timing belt is now a full rebuild...

I reckon them bearings are just about done, quite a common fail on older 200 motors, when really bad they can move and cause low oil pressure. From memory I think that flat on the cam is normal, when you order the bearings from Turners maybe ask...

Evening all, I've recently pulled the camshaft on an 200 tdi with unknown history ready to rebuild and go into my Series 3. Camshaft bearings are showing a lot of scoring so will likely need replacing, the camshaft itself seems okay generally...
