Here\'s mine anyway, exhaust vid of an FD with confirmed bearing failure and stuck side seal:

I dunno if its just me but that doesnt sound that rough at all, how did it drive? i guess like a dog but did it still build boost etc?
I expected i bearing go to sound like the dreaded death rattle in piston engines when the big-end goes

But on hard acceleration it would cough and jolt, and there was a chuffing coming from the oil filler spout when the top was off.
