2.0 Tfsi actuator rattle.

[Sandypark8]

Hi guys not been on here in ages ! My 2.0 tfsi k04 turbo Leon is giving me some grief now. I’m 90% sure it’s turbo acuator rattle as it’s around 2-2.5k when revving and can hear when driving and sounds like it’s coming from the turbo area also.

Anyone know if there’s a fix ? Is it new actuator or maybe a clip ? Tried google and YouTube but not much luck tbh.

Ive got the same. Car has only done 50K miles so Im surprised if the turbo has "worn out" as some say! Ive ordered one of the wastegate clips off Ebay for £5, got to worth a try.
A lot of youtube vids telling me about wear in the turbo housing where the actuator arm to the flap valve goes but this would have minuscule effect on running. If it was very bad, there would be a noticeable exhaust leak from it.
Anyone tried the clip?
