VW Golf 2.0Tdi G581 Turbo Actuator Diaphragm Replacement Removal

[@Sixthpanic]

Going through the same problem, but mine I also found an exhaust temp sensor broken (Snapped in half) from the inside after the Particular Filter, I am deciding on replacing the whole turbo and filter. Great vid though.

Great video. About to fit one of these to my 2010 2.0tdi 170 skoda superb. I'm all good with tools etc it's the adaptation using VCDS at end of your video which I can't do as no VCDS. Is this essential? What if I don't do adaptation? Cheers

[@earlygamer9106]

I’ve got an question a friend of my says the actuator is broken but I don’t get any fault in vcds My symptoms are that the turbo kicks in at 3000rpm🤷🏼‍♂️ and nearly sometimes It kicks in at very low rpm like it normal TDI does 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@cessnas2]

Check if the actuator holds vacuum, if it doesn't hold its toast

[@Mac_F87]

I didn’t get any faults on my Caddy but used a mityvac and can’t pull a vacuum on the actuator but it does move 5mm or so when I do an output test with VCDS.

Hi, great video thanks. I have a Caddy with a 1.9 BLS engine. Manual says there is a kit for the diaphragm but also says turbo removal is required. In your experience, can this diaphragm replacement be carried out as you have done in this video? Thanks in advance.

Great video, you made it look very easy to get that bolt off under acuator, i finally did it myself got the grinder to it and was abke to get my 10m socket on, i was unable to program it at the end as coukdnt find the adaption setting for the turbo on my autel, in now give a p2563 code... but i deffo have boost nowbthats for sure but goes in limp mode when idling and going over certain speed? Is this bdcause i didnt program the new acuator? Please help TIA

Bugga I just did this job on a mates Tiguan, I removed the Tappet cover (injectors) took hours.

[@seanharris5599]

Thanks for sharing this video, it’s been really helpful. You make it look easy! I found this really tricky as the access is so tight, hard to fit a 3/8 ratchet in and 1/4 deep sockets all too short. I had a Nielsen clone of the VAG tools (slotted socket) but even that wouldn’t reach the nut without drilling a 6mm hole to allow the thread deeper in the socket. Couldn’t get the bolts out without disconnecting the oil feed pipe. Nice hidden hole in the manifold for a 10mm socket to drop down so the undertray had to come off to find it and get it out, if I did it again I’d plug the hole with a rag. Top of a spray can covered the turbo inlet nicely so at least I couldn’t drop something in that. Getting the nut back on was awkward even with it wedged in a socket with tape. Over all a pig of a job and if you were closer I’d have definitely paid you to do it. Cheers!

Hi there Iv a 1.6 passst BMT with intermittent hard starting and occasionally it ticks over slightly lumpy whilst stationary. If you roll or coast the idle sorts itself out. Iv been told the actuator could be worth a check. Theres no fault codes and car runs well. 2014 15k miles. Any ideas ??

[@robevans8625]

On the later 2.0 Tdi's i thought the actuator is auto adjusted via vagcom? i ask because i have a BKD that had to be adjusted manually after a turbo refub i.e they didnt set the rod correctly the first time creating overboost.

[@ORileysAutos]

I can set it up on my scan tool but if you match it with old one it's always fine. I've fitted loads this way

[@davidoleary8720]

Hi mate. I have a mk6 2.0tdi 170. I have a boost problem where I only get full boost at 3,100 and no boost before that where before id have boost at 2k. Going into limp mode on the slightest of hills or full pedal. Was thinking the N75 sensor but would this be the culprit?

[@ORileysAutos]

It's worth testing it with a mityvac

[@Ilyas-rn2sn]

Hi mate, did the actuator sort the issue because I’m having the exact same issue.

[@mrr2544]

At 3.35 when you take the bottom bolt off when I put my 10mm in there same Length it doesn’t reach. Do you know anything else I can try?

[@kericremeans9292]

Whats the part number for that actuator? 😂 i need it

[@danpugh4529]

Perfect - thank god you uploaded this!! Thank you

[@ORileysAutos]

Glad it was of help

[@danpugh4529]

The retaining nuts on my actuator don’t clear the oil pipe, any ideas? Without disconnecting the pipe/bleeding etc!

[@mrfox1721]

You had a go at this yourself? Did it solve your problem? Have a underboost P0299 fault on my Leon 170CR . Limp mode on hills in 4th with late turbo. Hoping my problem is the actuator

[@jakecumberpatch5859]

@@mrfox1721 I’m having similar issues, I have no boost whatsoever .. I had the same code po299 .. have you had any luck mate ?

[@mrfox1721]

@@jakecumberpatch5859 had the car in at a garage, after checking for leaks and engine diagnostics they replaced the map sensor. Made no difference. Booked in next week for a replacement actuator

[@AmirFazadh]

How do I get you to come over to Texas and do mine? 😆

[@ORileysAutos]

I'd like to move there but don't think it's possible

[@AmirFazadh]

@@ORileysAutos Well, your hands fit back there, mine don't. At least I have the drive to make it work. Maybe. Thanks for the vid anyway, hoping I can do it with my catchers-mitt hands!

Hello, does this work on a 2012 passat? 2.0 tdi

It's miles not km 🤠😂

They do that when you’ve had the battery out, resets the average mpg
