Hello,

I have a problem after purchasing the car I decided to check the oil sump if not have metal shavings because I read a lot about this engine and a lot of them have a problem with the intermediate shaft bearing problems resulting in serious engine failure ... But in my it is not that problem because I take the gearbox out and the inspect IMS bering and looks fine... Question what can be the reason for these pieces of metal?

PS shavings are aluminum ... magnet does not attract them ...

Those were in the oil sump? I'm guessing the chain tensioner wear pads from the brown bits. What year and how many miles? Any bad noises?
