I am so happy I have found your channel. Now I know I can keep my truck for many years to come. Bless you for all the time you have spend to film these tutorials.
Great video and easy to follow steps. It is good that you determined the actuator was stuck low from Forscan rather than not knowing and paying out dearly. I had a similar experience with DPF passive burn failing and triggering fault codes and dash lights. Mazda stated that most mechanics forget to look at the fuel vapouriser for blockage. They quoted $400 to diagnose and $1400 for replacement part and labour. I googled how to check and clean it, and it was blocked. All of a 30 minute job to fix myself. Paid $500 for a scan tool and can diagnose and reset whenever I want.
Great video again. Just a small tip with bolts/screws in hot situations, when putting screws back coat the threads with anti-seize aluminium or copper paste, especially the bolts on the turbo.
Thank you very much kindly. Iam from SA and the dealership wants to charge me R15000.00 to change the turbo. After watching yr clip did it myself 😊. Thank you again.
@@texnaidoo3747 thank you. It seems you have the 110kW correct? According to my research the low power units (80kW) cannot have the actuator separate from the turbo. So I am a bit bummed.
Thanks so much for this video. Has helped me so much with a p2999 code on my ranger, that's been bugging me for months with limp mode, sensor A stuck high. Just changed the actuator, been a pain especially the L bracket. Anyway now seems sorted and so grateful for your great work and advise. Best wishes from West Yorkshire, UK.
these cars are incredibly labour intensive and ford dealers are not your friend , but thanks to video's like these time and money and frustration can be saved , doing a lot of work in the engine bay this and many weekends to come "a bit at a time " so the video's help alot 👍
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado 2.8 turbodiesel... Still have the original turbo. It gets 500 miles on a tank. Have an engine tune and trans tune with EGR removed and it's great.
Hey, sorry. I don't know your name, but I want to thank you for this video, and the turbo change one. It solved a problem with my bt50 that was intermittent and driving me (more) mad. So it was the actuator, but I ended up replacing the turbo since I had 250k on it anyway. Nice clear instructions that helped me enormously. Thanks.
I agree that Torx screws can be problematic, two suggestions, I prefer to use a complete 3/8 " socket with integrated Torx than a Torx end, Using a short (preferably brass) punch and hammer to give a couple of sharp whacks will give an initial dislodge or bead break to the screw or any bolt for that matter before applying Torx (or socket) to a firm screw. Often just makes the difference between a clean removal or a chewed out Screw. I prefer a good quality Allen head bolt to a Torx personally. For reassembly chase bolt threads on a wire wheel and apply Lannox Lannolin spray or a light smear of anti size grease spray to ease assembly unless thredlocker is required. Makes a later removal easier!
Your videos are such a huge help mate. I changed my injectors (2013 Mazda Bravo) with your help and I'll keep an eye out for this issue. I'm not very teach-savvy though so I will have to learn a bit about the diagnosis program and cable you use. Thanks again. Luke
goodjob buddy , master level - you did it with one hand only :) used the second one to hold the camera. ... iam gonna give it a go, however the actuators gone up to $240. so it isa toss up between just actuator for $240 or gwtting the whole turbo foe $850..... hmm dilema
Thankyou for the video. Have you got any vidoes on turbo removal ??? I think my waste gate is not closing all the way when cold mainly. Getting a turbo noise. I think it may be carbon build up preventing it from full closing as I have no warning lights or lack of power.
i didnt know that ford ranger use the same turbo actuator, i have the same problem with my jeep grand cherokee 2008, the dealer said they have to install new turbo, what a joke, its much easier to remove its sitting on top of the engine, i order one will come soon i hope, lol my error code is P0243, THANKS YOU
Got the same issue with my Transit Custom, same engine but in FWD format, hopefully a new actuator will cure my problem. The actuator is in a difficult location on the Ranger compared to the Transit!
I think you missed a bolt on the actuator there is another counter sunk torx bolt behind that L bracket behind the that is pretty much impossible to get off in the car because it’s in the back turbo housing l, so I just took off the front turbo housing because it’s the only way to get to that bolt and it’s much easier to get the actuator back on. That’s on a px1 ranger btw not sure about px2 and 3 great video but
@@abdautomotive the bloody rangers are not exactly designed to be easy to work on especially when you can’t see a bolt let alone access it with the turbo in the car, definition of a love hate relationship.
Hi There Great Video and info.My Traction light together with the Gear light came on today.I suspect my Turbo cause there is Turbo Faults on the Diagnostic machine.Does the After market Actuator have any Issues on the long run.?? Regards Jacques.
Fair play for fixing it your self, But boy you caused your self some greif, take turbo off and it woulf been easy as , the drive you need is a 1/4 af to fit the torx drive , its an old school size, just how it is, with the turbo off you would of got in the torx head properly and not rounded them out... done heaps my self...
Mate great vid, iv got an issue where my px2 Ranger pre dpf has an annoying ticking sound only under load 1500 to 2000rpm then wen I lift off the gas pedal I get a faster ticking noise momentarily for a few seconds iv replaced injectors had this motor stripped and found nothing even drove it without the belt on I don’t think it’s the exhaust as I found nothing leaking on assembly unless it’s in exhaust pipe At this point I’m assuming it may be a turbo charger issue but that’s near new n I found no noises spinning the shaft by hand I’m not sure about the variable geometry linkage etc No codes at all just this annoying ticking sound under load

First of all thank you for the videos you've produced. I found it very informative. As of today, can you share your thoughts on the actuator? Is it still working good? Any noticeable change in term of performance/behaviour compared to the original? Your input is much appreciated. Thanks mate
Hello brother. I don't know if i got the same problem as you. There is no warning light. No limp mode. But my truck felt heavy. And there is a BUZZING sound when I accelerate. Before that, i already made a replacement for the timing cover because of oil leaked. I completely change my tensioner and belting too. Because the oil get to them and did the damage. My question is, the buzzing, is it the symptoms of actuator failure? I noticed the actuator located near the timing chain too. Is that possible the actuator got damage from my previous replacement process? Thank you for your time brother.
i love your videos mate. so informative and easy to understand. i have a spanner light that stays on a i dont know what does it mean and how to fix it.
I’m having the same issues with my truck it’s a 3.2L ford ranger xlt I did a oil change and it made a really squeaky sound like a high pitch turbo sound
Hey Mate, My 2017 3.2 XLT Ranger goes into limp mode when towing our caravan. First time was only after driving 5+hrs straight. Last trip did it 2hrs and then 1hr on same trip. Never does it driving normal only when towing. Scan tool showed Error P2563(72) range performance problem. Would you start with the valve ? Appreciate your time and effort in helping everyone.
how many kms on your Ranger? from that fault code it could be the Vanes on the VGT turbo starting to stick due to carbon build up, hence why it's intermittant, if the actuator were to fail it would be stuck in limp mode.
@@handza 72k is low , if it was 272k i would say replace turbo & you would do actuator at the same time , but it shouldn't be having issues with those kms, considering it has a new garret turbo aswell.
hey Roger , it's an extra 3 bolts to remove turbo, where the turbo bolts to exhaust manifold, 1 bolt for the oil feed & 2 bolts for the turbo oil return, and your turbo will come off, no coolant lines as it's oil cooled
Would it be the same for a 2009 ford ranger because mine has the engine light on it as well and i feel like it has lost power, not sure if it is the turbo?
MY bro, thanks as always for your awesome videos. Helps a guy stuck with bad mechanics in Myanmar out ALOT! Wondering if you would have a partnumber for that actuator?

Oh im sorry for the late reply! Because of political unrest and civil war, I didn't have the time or mindset to continue, but i will replace the actuator soon, once the parts can be shipped again into the country, ill update asap!@@chrisgrant3770
My bro.Got error P2099 when going slowly in second gear in 2000rpm. Lost power, got limpmode and showed error P2599 stuck high... the power was strange after a shop replaced my turbo. 1 hour after that, the P2599 error came ( new turbo) After tedious back and forth with local garages (who had no idea), a friend told me to check for leaks. Twas a leak. Air bubble galore. My turbo was leaking air between the manifold and the turbo connection. Had the shop fix it and the problem went away. Now the problem came back, and yes, bubbles again...so I'll try to have a look and see if I can fix myself.

if it's going into limp mode it will be showing a code, i recommend forscan for checking fault codes.
Have you fix your vehicle?

wht is your opinion on turbo flutter?on stock ranger
mine only flutters under heavy load, it's not a big issue tho
Was that because of the failing actuator?
Same thing they told Me
Is Religious quote necessary in regards to this subject 🥱
Necessary for eternal life, Actuator failure is only temporary ;)
