Ahh, I believe the turbo Diesel's have the squirters for the extra
fuel/heat load to help cool the pistons. My 1.6na doesn't have them.

Huh. Ok. Interesting point. Thanks.
I haven't dropped the oil pan yet but my ABA gas engine may have oil
squirters.
As long as I don't find chunks of metal in there, I'll be happy.  ;)

Neil.
