datalas:
Having just removed the following from the sump on Roo I'm inclined to believe they're not a service item...

However,  just what exactly is it part of?  My guess is a lower piston ring (one of the oil mopper upper ones)

roughly 15mm in length for the longer one,  out of a 200tdi ...

Les Henson:
Looks like an oil scraper ring to me - either side of the gap. Bit worrying really as you don't know if they were replaced and a bit of the old one dropped in or not.


Les.

Sharpshooter:
Yes. I would have said the same. Oil Scraper.

Ouch. :(

Ralph:
I agree it is part of an oil scraper ring.
However i would not be to concerned if the engines is running ok i.e sounds ok and not burning oil because for something of that size to jump out of its groove in the piston there would have to be a considerable amount of damage to the piston itself which would more than certainly be noticable in the running of the engine.
I would say that this part and piston has been replaced in the past though how they missed these pieces i dont know

beast5680:
yep i would agree as above :shock:
