Metal shavings or a large quantity of small metal particles found during engine repair could indicate that the crankshaft bearings or conrod bearings are damaged. To avoid any subsequent damage, the following work must be carried out following the repair: Carefully clean oil channels and renew oil spray jets, engine oil cooler and oil filter.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
