Hello,
Been having an issue with my 2014 FR184. It kept coming up air leak P2279. Took it to my local VAG specialist and he found the egr to be knackered. Got that and a dpf delete because why not. Fine for around 2 months and then starts again. In limp mode, same code but only seems to be under load in 5th or 6th gear and I get a shudder (this may be clutch related but have read overboost can cause this) took it in again and after "extensive" investigation he has narrowed it down to a faulty actuator. Apparently the actuator can't be replaced itself, it needs to be the entire turbo and for the new turbo and the cost to fit I have been quoted just over 2 and a half grand. Question is, is this legit? Or can the actuator be replaced itself? Don't want to be throwing thousands at the thing if I don't need to. Also would sticky vanes cause the actuator to stick and if it was woould I need to defo replace the turbo. Any insight would be great. TIA
