Thank you so much for making this video. As you rightly state garages charge a fortune. I was quoted £1300 for the turbo actuator oil etc. The part was £70. My tip as I couldnt get a socket the right length. Use a plumbers sink box spanner and cut it down. Drill a couple of holes for a leverage bar. Cheap as chips. I also bent a cheap spanner into a z and chopped as required. New part had an extra metal housing on the base. Took that off so the part would fit. Assembling it is tricky. Started the actuator nut before fully mounting the part. My hands are too big so stick some string half way round the nut clockwise with gaffer tape. Stick the nut to the finger that can reach the spindle. Locate it,pull the string this should just catch the thread. Rest is easy. The car is 1K in and better than ever. Brilliant thanks so much 👍

Great job Jimmy 👍🏻

Great info I'm in the middle of this job right now. Just out of curiosity I notice codes stamped on the failed one, so I take it that it was original VW and the new one you installed has no codes so is non VW is that correct. I'm just trying to decide on which to buy. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Mechanics who advise on changing turbo clearly want your money plus turbo costs. It looks a lot easier taking actuator off than taking the whole turbo out. Spot on pal 👌🏼

Brilliant video. I've exact same issue on A3 1.9TDI from '09 but it looks like whole turbo has to come out to do it :( Have you done any of those?

Is this the same engine as the skoda Octavia 1.6tdi? Do you recall the engine number? I'm in the same situation where the garage is telling me I need to spend £2,000 on a new turbo when the part is 40 pounds! I don't believe they cannot just change the actuator which I think is the problem as the engine warning I am given is for sensor a which I believe is the sensor on top of the actuator. Any advice would be amazing as I have to get to the bottom of this without being ripped off by some dodgy shark garage!

Nice :)

well done i know its not easy wow

Is it not possible to unscrew the rod nut without any spacial tool like youre perfect sized nut bit?

Hi lovely video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey,i have the same problem with a polo 1.4 diesel from 2015. Exactly the same problems with the garages, some of them didn't even take a look🤣🤣 Where are you based and how much it's going to be, included the part? Thank you

Do you not also have to Calibrate the actuator wirh VCDS/OBDEleven?

Nice job! I have vw golf 6 2.0 year 2008 with de same problem. My Quest if i need calibrate with obs?

I’m having the same issue with the same code come on it’s saying that I’m not getting enough turbo pressure but I believe that it’s the actuator that’s wrong because I start up the car and run normal and then all the sudden the plug light blinks and the check engine light comes on and it will run like it has no Turbo at all. It’s super laggy and the low plug light just blinks and blinks and blinks so if you could get back with me, were you having an intermittent issue as well and then when you replace the actuator everything was back to normal??

Great method 👍

Tried this with 65mm 3/8 drive socket wouldn't fit ,,only alive after would be to use a slim headed rachet,, after we had to try slotting the long socket to make something similar to the vw tool

I have just attempted this and swapped it out! It has not immediately fixed the problem but is that because I need to reset or clear the code?

Does anything need to be programmed/ re-learned or will it be fine as long as the nuts on the new rod are put in the same place as the nuts on the old rod ?

I have a p2563 but it’s intermittent, low rpm mainly and there is no vacuum reading on the actuator

Hello, I do have a problem that non of around garages even knows what it is. My golf 6 CFFB engine throw a codes of P0236 and P2563(Turbocharger Boost Control Position ic Passive/Sporad ic ic ic Passive/Sporad Sensor Circuit Range/Performance). I have changed both selenoid, MAP sensor, EGR unit with cooler and still have same error codes… the actuator hold vacuums but the vacuum goes off somehow. Please please advice what to do… 😢

what were the symptoms of the failure please mate?

What's that part number? Just trying to find one in the states

Will this work with a 2011 jetta

my A1 1.6 TDI (2011) has very little power when flat out for around 3 seconds then suddenly surges, i presume this is a turbo actuator issue (self diagnosed as a first year apprentice mechanic) was wondering if these engines are similar? came across your channel via tiktok, keep up the great content.

@userporpdasd

Exactly the same for me, 1.6 TDI Golf, Setting Off is very weak and sluggish, car engine brakes a lot when I’m barely moving so I assume the wastegate is stuck closed and affecting air fuel ratio

Is this working o. Tiguan 2007 2.0tdi CBAB?

Ive replaced my actuator it runs fine unless i lut my foot down and then it lags and then turbo kicks in amd just doesn't run right. Any advice? Is it just the position of the nuts on the rod that is causing the issue? Any help please!

You are meant to use a calliper to measure nut position but I think you can only do that with turbo out of the car.

I did the vacuum test and it hold, does it mean its fine then or could it be broken in the electrical part?

Did you ever figure out if it was an electrical issue?

I managed until 3:40 but on a 1.9 TDI MK5 Jetta, absolutely no space to get closer

Hi, I managed to replace it but now I have fault code p2563. Do you know how can I fix it?

But could my issue also just be that the sensor for the turbo is bad, causing it not to know what the actuator should open up at and things like that

That turbo, is it supposed to wine like a ambulance at times? It tends to do that for me.

Does your car still have the DPF or was it removed ?

I have a 2014 VW Passat TDI its throwing a p0299 code. I tested the actuator to see if it holds vacumm and it does. So i weeded that problem out could it be the actual turbo boos solenoid that is connected to the firewall?

@alexcovaci24 yes the turbine wheel shaft ended up breaking which produced no boost. I ended up replacing the Turbo charger

Thank you so much for the videos! I have a code p0299 and have test the boost actuator like in your other video. Mine holds vacuum and the solenoid has vacuum when the car is running. What else should I be looking for?

I'm ready to bet that your car is going into limp mode once you're asking some power. My Guess is it could still be a faulty wastegate cuz it's electronically piloted. Could also be a boost leak, or seized veins(exhaust side) . That Can be alot of things, all depending from your kind of use

Does anyone with this issue get a long farting noise when shutting down the engine? Pretty sure that my car has a problem with this solenoid. I only have the issue once in a while where the turbo cuts out until engine is restarted.

Assuming you have a tdi considering that’s what this video is about your issue will probably be the pressure valve sensor if I had my best guess with p2563 p0299 is usually a under boost code that goes to the vane actuator I would replace the boost pressure valve sensor then your maf if one of those two don’t fix then go to the vane actuator it’s usually those 3 or the turbo is blown up not many other causes of failure lol
