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.
