Can i ask a question please about the turbo actuator? Is it supposed to move freely when the engines on as i have been told it should and that it shouldnt . Please any help is much appreciated
When you apply a vacuum to the actuator it will move the rod. When you let the vac off it will naturally return to its start position. You really can't test them without the proper test equipment. I'd always recommend finding a good diagnostic technician to diagnose the fault. It will save you money in the long run, saving you from replacing unnecessary parts
So what would be the solution for this fault? I have exactly the same issue, and hoping not to be ripped off by those that, as you say, pull out the parts catalogue and go crazy
Did the vacuum pump cure the issue on this car as I have the exact same symptoms with a car I have in Spain and I’m working with a limited tool kit and no miti vac but it does have positive pressure from the solinoid supply and negative from the brakes
The customer declined the repair as the vehicle was not worth much to him. The diagnostic was sound. Proof would be substituting the component vacuum with the servo vacuum, you should then get boost back
Hi changed the vacuum pump this sorted out the boost problem at low boost it still seems to have quite a bit of lag then at about 3k revs 4th gear on the motorway it will shut down in limp home with a low boost pressure fault then clear with ignition recycling the egr cooler seems sticky would this cause this sorry to hijack your post but I’m trying to sort this car while I’m over on holiday as I can’t get a mechanic over here who doesn’t want to just throw parts at it
You deserve a lot more views. Your a really good diagnostic technician
Good to see you back very good diagnostic and more videos 🙏

Hi Andy. There will be resistance behind the actuator. The best way to test it would be with a Vac tester as in the video
Ok thanks for replying @ams-mobileuk7226
@ams-mobileuk7226 sorry can I ask what you mean by there will be resistance behind the actuator, I'm not mechanically minded at all . Thanks

This vehicle required a replacement vacuum pump, not to say that yours does with out carrying out a diagnosis first
Of course. Thank you, my friend.
