Hello Everyone...
Here is a little history on my car, it’s a 2001 TDI Jetta 187000KM with its 3rd turbo.
I changed the oil today, this is the 1st oil change since changing the drain plug to the magnetic kind from http://shop.metalnerd.com/index.cgi?code=3&cat=4
When I pulled out the drain plug I found some metal ( looks like a ring??? of some sort.. the car runs fine and seems to have no issue ( yet) What could this be? Remnants of the old turbo? This is the second oil change since the turbo grenaded on me.. Any ideas?
Is it still safe to drive? I was thinking of draining the oil again tomorrow after running the car what do you guys think?
Please help
