After getting under my 2 0t gli i was able to locate the actuator rod just above the passenger side axle.
Wastegate actuator rod adjustment.
Specifically i need to adjust calibrate the position of the open and closed positions of the actuator rod for the wastegate.
Temporarily secure the wastegate.
Hi folks i m a diyer looking to repair my is20 turbo on a mk7 golf.
When you increase the preload you do two things.
Therefore the only aspect that we can change on the oem actuator is preload.
I was hoping to figure out whether vcds can help me out here and if so how it works.
One is that.
Remove both of the electric wastegate actuator torx screws 1.
The reverse removes preload.
Rotate the wastegate actuator 1 upward in the direction of the arrow.
Shortening the wastegate rod using the adjustment screws adds preload to the internal spring.
I wish to fully activate from one end to the other the rod servo etc get it to find the end stops as there is no external adjustment.
When the wastegate linkage pin cannot be removed the alternate procedure in this document must be followed to remove the turbocharger and the electric wastegate actuator.
By removing the stainless steel bracket the turbo attaches to i.
Reason is that these stick as the pivot joint between the turbo actuator rod is to tight so i undid mine wet sanded it clean 2000grit oil regressed using 1000c brake pad mintex ceratec grease.
