The most annoying rattle can anyone help?
« on: March 04, 2016, 05:32:56 pm »
See video attached.. I've had it up on a ramp and a mechanic searching through whilst I've been revving but he can't seem to find anything? Any ideas? Anyone come across this? Cheers lads

Having this same issue just now, generally reported to be waste gate flapper not fully closing...

Some report can be resolved be making sure the bolts on the actuator rod are tight, the locking clip can come off and let the rod extend slightly.

Not sure what the rules are here on linking to other forums?

If it's for the good and benefit of people reading the post and / helps the OP, it's absolutely fine!

Thanks Mike.

Took a while to dig up this thread, as a lot of people with this issue have replaced the turbo due to it and I didn't fancy that, until i'm ready for K04 anyway  :happy2:

As per bottom few posts in above thread, apparently common issue on BM's.
