Evening all.
Can this be accessed from the engine bay, or does it have to be up in the air?
Thanks
Rich

I think it's a turbo off job to do rich.
I don't think it's advised to change for an uprated one from stuff i've seen/read if that's what your planning. I remember someone frying a K04 due to fcuking about with an uprated forge actuator :scared:
-
Ohhh no, not changing it, i just want to see if its loose. :happy2:
-
Turbo off job then :happy2:

The pesky rattle?

The pesky rattle?
Yes Mike. Doing my head in now, it needs to go... or the car needs to.
Really Carl Turbo off? :sick:

Cant remember if you've checked DP/exhaust bracket that bolts to subframe? its a known weak point, mine used to rattle

It might be new turbo time. :sick:

-

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) :happy2:

That will be fine :happy2:

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

Much appreciated :drinking:
what kind of noise is it?
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)
