Turbo actuator variants

[Mr Pig]

Evening.

Turbo actuator (P334B00) and I've tried to grease it up with no luck. Looking to take it off and probably replace it but according to the dealer there are two options for the car (2016 1.4 act FR). Does anyone know if they are likely to be interchangeable or do I need the right one? Struggling to find a part number on the old one while it's still on the car.

What are the chances of a straight swap working without checking the numbers coming off the actuator? Can OBDII read the numbers?

Thank you :0)

Hi,

If you don't mind sending me your VIN via a private message, I can look up the exact part number for your car.

Oh wow, thank you. I'll get that for you.

Hi again,

As you can see in the screenshot below, there are two variants of the actuator, as dealer said.
But I see that there are some conflicting information.

There's no production date interval in first variant and two turbocharger part numbers are specified which the actuator could be used for. (None of them matches exactly the turbocharger part number in your car)

In the second one, there's a production starting date and also two turbocharger part numbers are specified that the actuator could be used for. (Again, none of them matches exactly the turbocharger part number in your car, but the production start date matches your car's production date, which is 12.04.2016)

So unfortunately I couldn't determine which one you should be going for.
Maybe some other forum members can help further with their opinions and/or experiences.

Best regards,
Serdar

Thank you for trying. I'll just have to try and find the part number. I've had a look but I can't find it. Hope I don't have to take the thing off to find it :0(

By the way, if you can see a part number on the turbocharger, it might give you a better idea.
Parts catalog can have some incorrect parts information in some situations.

If the actual turbocharger part number is different than what the parts catalog says and if it matches one of the numbers specified in actuator entries, than it would be the one you're looking for.

I can say that the actuator does not look like the one in the diagram above. It's entirely plastic and a different shape.

The actuator is the part numbered 2 in the illustration above, though parts catalog calls it a servomotor.

Maybe the part you're talking about is something else, not actuator ? Can you take some photos of it and post here?

This is what mine looks like without the linkage. Seems it's sold separately. I'm thinking that you might get away with just swapping the actuator itself as if you retain the old linkage there should be a need to adjust the output values? Assuming the actuators are made consistently enough.

Parts catalog illustrations may look different from the actual part in the car so don't get too hung up on that.

It may be sold separately without the linkage but official item is a "repair kit" which comes along with washers, bolts etc. and the part number is for the kit. So I believe even if you took it off and get the part number on it, you most probably won't be able to order it brand-new using that part number, you are going to need the part number of the kit which includes the correct part in it, and that is one of those two items in the illustration above.

Yours is the second part number.

Yip, that's it. I had the linkage off today and there isn't any issue with it. The linkage is not binding or seized at all so that's not the problem. I was a bit concerned that the lever at the turbo end was very free and had no resistance at all but I called the diagnostic place I spoke to before and he said that's normal. The lever doesn't move much.

So I'll get it booked in and get the actuator replaced. Thank you for your help :0)
