Sounds f*cked tbh, but there's a lot of background noise, it's hard to tell. For it to be mentioned on the mot it must have been fairly bad.

Loads of filings probably means it's f*cked then. Should only be a few at most.

I've just drained the oil from my 1.4 and found gear teeth on the plug, yet it didn't sound like that! Mine would do the typical clunk on tight & slow left hand corners. Is that sound whilst on the move or at idle?
