K04 Turbo actuator

[rich83]

You can access the rod and nuts to adjust it when the turbo is fitted.  I've had to adjust mine in the past.  I'm sure I could remove the whole actuator with the turbo still fitted.

Let's try that little clip mod Rich.  Worth a try before changing the turbo (for a hybrid) 

Ok Alex... how would friday work out? Late morning?

Cool, ill order that part (probably wont fit  )... ill be interested to see what you think of the noise Alex. Im convinced its turbo related even though it performs fine.

Much appreciated

Its like a tinkling noise, sort of like a nut in a jam jar being rattled... but not as loud. It only happens on part throttle (25-50%) and when the car is warm.

Ive got a spare DV i need to try just to rule that out but i dont think its that.

mine makes that noise also, i thought it was norm lol.

Well mine has developed over the last 6 months or so, can't remember exactly when it started.

At least I'm not the only one James.  Hopefully Alex will be able to shed some light on what's causing it.

(Alex. You have a PM)
