Here's the 200Tdi manual.
In your photo "Connecting rod to cap" under "Tdi engine" shows the same torque figure I quoted earlier.

200 tdi
I’m looking this engine over for install in my Ninety.
Rotated it over and pulled the pan. Small metal bits stuck in a little bit of sludge in the pan and a little on the pick up screen. Not greatbut not a huge surprise.
I’m looking down into the engine and see this round thing, about 1/2” in dia. Fish it out with the magnet. Not sure what this is??
I did the timing belt and have rotated the engine a bunch and it all sounded smooth, I guess this fell into the engine when I rotated it.
Any ideas?
It looks like there’s some gator spring pieces from a seal. Someone’s been in this engine since it was new so maybe someone replaced a seal and knocked a few small pieces of spring out of a seal?

Never seen a rear seal come without that piece. Are you sure?
