Late VW 2.0 Turbo Diesel turbo actuators replacement - Fixed #

Posted by Paul Howd on April 9, 2015, 7:06 pm

Year of Manufacture *: Late
Engine Size and Code *: eg 2.0

The turbo actuators on these are vacuum operated and the diaphrams fail resulting in limp mode and fault P0229.

Replacement is pretty straightforward EXCEPT that the nut on the actuator rod is tucked behind the turbo and is inaccessible.

You might be able to get at it with a small 10mm half moon spanner but I think it would be a struggle even with that.

You need a "Sharper" angle than a normal half moon.

I took a 10mm combination spanner and using a oxy-torch, bent it at right angles about an inch back from the ring end. I then made a more gentle bend in the same direction at the other end.

(If that makes sense)

(I tried to create some ASCI-Art to illustrate but the message board will not accept multiple spaces?? )

With such a tool, job becomes much easier.

Hope this helps somebody

We have done a couple of these now, very fiddly but yes, they can be done in situ.

Just a reminder to set the actuator up after fitting one of these in MVB's & basic settings.

Quite important.

have also done a few of these now, is a bugger when you get the settings right then lock it off and they go just out of range

Yup, thats the most annoying part of the job, locking it off & the readings shift out of spec.

What's involved for setting them up for future reference?

Assume it's with a mityvac and vcds?
