Wastegate Actuator Rod Adjustment

Remove both of the electric wastegate actuator torx screws 1.

Wastegate actuator rod adjustment.

After getting under my 2 0t gli i was able to locate the actuator rod just above the passenger side axle. Rotate the wastegate actuator 1 upward in the direction of the arrow. Specifically i need to adjust calibrate the position of the open and closed positions of the actuator rod for the wastegate. When the wastegate linkage pin cannot be removed the alternate procedure in this document must be followed to remove the turbocharger and the electric wastegate actuator.

Temporarily secure the wastegate. Reason is that these stick as the pivot joint between the turbo actuator rod is to tight so i undid mine wet sanded it clean 2000grit oil regressed using 1000c brake pad mintex ceratec grease. Shortening the wastegate rod using the adjustment screws adds preload to the internal spring. The reverse removes preload.

By removing the stainless steel bracket the turbo attaches to i. One is that. Hi folks i m a diyer looking to repair my is20 turbo on a mk7 golf. Therefore the only aspect that we can change on the oem actuator is preload.

I wish to fully activate from one end to the other the rod servo etc get it to find the end stops as there is no external adjustment. On aftermarket actuators and external wastegates we can change the internal spring. When you increase the preload you do two things.
