Wastegate actuator - test

Is wastegate actuator failure causing your car's lack of power?
A malfunctioning wastegate actuator won't regulate fumes going to the turbine. Although still driveable, this results in lack of power and acceleration which means the car is virtually unusable.
In this film I'll show you how to check easily whether or not the actuator is working.

Amazing simple and straight to the point video perfectly done.

[davidadey]

I think this is most informative thank you. Im struggling with removing the heat shield, is there a specific method please.

[karelmekyna]

hello, perfect video, I just miss how you replaced the actuator.. turbo out or just the actuator? and was calibration needed in the service? many thanks

[niklasasplund]

Thanks a lot for the video! Appreciate if someone who did the swap themselves have a video to share. I got a 2012 Fabia (1.2TSI).

Hi first thanx for this vid my actuator doesnt move much what is a normal ammoint it has to move? And i only got the p155a code and my 2 map sensors are renewed can i change the wastegat actuator or do i have to lear new pressure hope to hear u thanx a lot

[godowskie]

is there any increased oil consumption?

[martamykhailyna]

Hi!) Do you know pressure at which the actuator operates?

[CoreMaster]

Mine is starting to go out. That rod rattles back and fourth easily. No warning lights or codes just yet.

[edwing]

not really impressed, there is a lot more to it than just mounting
also has to be learned, I don't see that in the film

buen dia una consulta ocupo calibración el actiador?

[kudandanga]

Another quick one k-nemo, an d Merry Christmas lads, why does the actuator move when you use you hands (0.06) but doesn't when you rave the engine?

[michalgoes]

I guess this is 1.2 tsi engine by VW-group. Thanks for this film. Now I understand how it should work. Is this turbo the wastegate-type or variable-geometry one?

[minibotpc]

Hi where did you buy the replacement part from?

[turkishfjet]

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T WANT TO GIVE MONEY FOR CALIBRATION, JUST TURN ON AND OFF IGNITION 15 TIMES, AND THEN START YOUR CAR AND THE EPC LIGHT WILL GONE 😉 THANK ME LATER (THIS WORKS ON MY SEAT IBIZA 1.2 TSI)

[kudandanga]

My car is doing exactly the same thing, but the mechanics insist the actuator is fine. When you move by hand it goes back and forth, but when you start the engine it only moves once then locks in position. He tried to calibrate it and it only goes to 77% but when the turbo is not connected it goes to 95% and advice? Please!!!

[maxyang]

Hi, how do you find this parts error?
Does get some error code?

[aitchthegamer]

Does the actuator need to be programmed in or calibrated? If so how can it be done....thanks

[andreiASK]

Same problem with my Skoda Rapid 1.2 tsi (CBZB) . when i start the engine the actuater doesnt move. When i push the gas pedal doesnt move. The epc and check engine its lights on.

[iragubenko]

Hey i have Malibu 2.0 does the wastegate suppose to move when u start the car

[dominicsach]

Hi, my vw 1.2 tsi wastegate actuator moves once or twice when i rev the engine. after that it stays in one position. no warning lights yet. When i try to move the rod with my had i see the same thing. it doesnt always come back to normal position. could it be actuator issue or the valve itself. any advice?
