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 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.
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
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 👌🏼
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 ?
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!
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??
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
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… 😢
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.
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
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!
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?
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
@@maxly501 Any idea why this problem only pops up on me when the weather starts to warm? The car runs beautifully in freezing weather, but now that it's warmer, this same problem comes back like clockwork.... so strange,...
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.
Hi,my problem it's:Error code P2563,Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Circuit: Implausible Signal. Do you think can be the turbo actuator? Thanks
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
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! I'm about to change the actuator on my 2009 CBEA 2.0 TDI Jetta and your videos are an immense help! Thank you! The troubleshooting I did is here: th-cam.com/users/shortsz-1o-xlAuNY?si=FoRpzRHZiXrPf1ay

Very clear video, best so far I have seen and I watched 1000 many thanks God bless you for hard work
Glad it helped
Great job Jimmy 👍🏻
Crystal clear well presented video. Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, helped me to fix this myself.
Thank you 👍🏻
Changed loads 👍
Excellent tutorial of turbo actuator replacement.
Thank you 😊
Lovely job👍🏼
You're the man
Merci bien ❤

Ok perfecto cenkiu
Is it not possible to unscrew the rod nut without any spacial tool like youre perfect sized nut bit?
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
Nice job! I have vw golf 6 2.0 year 2008 with de same problem. My Quest if i need calibrate with obs?
Thanks 👍
좋은정보 감사합니다
👍🏻
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?
I have a p2563 but it’s intermittent, low rpm mainly and there is no vacuum reading on the actuator

I've replaced loads by just matching the old rod
where did you get that socket all halfords and screwfix too short

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?
Hi lovely video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what were the symptoms of the failure please mate?

Will this work with a 2011 jetta
Nice :)
Is this working o. Tiguan 2007 2.0tdi CBAB?
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
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?
if you undo the top two bolts I bet you can use the long socket
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?
Hi, did you fix the problem? I have the same issue and each garage gave me different diagnosis
@alexcovaci24 yes the turbine wheel shaft ended up breaking which produced no boost. I ended up replacing the Turbo charger
Hi, I managed to replace it but now I have fault code p2563. Do you know how can I fix it?
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?

@@jeffoh5787 What's your car
@maxly501 it's a 2011 Audi A3 tdi.
@@jeffoh5787 Could be a faulty Map sensor, or a boost leak
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 managed until 3:40 but on a 1.9 TDI MK5 Jetta, absolutely no space to get closer
Where did u buy the part. And what’s the part number
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.

It depends, which car do u have? A fiat?

I have the same issue. Did you fix the problem? Thanks
How much is this to do? I am in coventry but can come to u
£120 if you supply the part
Im doing that right now and there's no way my fingers fit in there. 😢
