Turbo Actuator

[Lyons]

The connector on the turbo actuator of my 3.0TDi has broken. The plug is currently cable tied on and everything still works as it should.

Can you provide and fit a replacement?

A repair kit is available from TPS, do you have any experience with it and what it consists of?

Id say give Ryan or Steven a ring as you will get Instant answer as they are always busy and not on rms as much.

the repair kit is for the 2.0tdi CR engine as far as i know. It consists of a new actuator with position sensor. Does your 3.0tdi not have an electronic actuator?

No idea! I just know there is a repair kit of sort for the 3.0.

is the plug cable tied to it for the actuator or something else? if so then its electric

This is said part, am I right in thinking it is the actuator?



It's the connector where the 4 pins are that is broken.

look melted what caused that? but if it works when all plugged back up i wouldent be replacing the actuator

 

[Lyons]

Not sure what caused it sadly. The clip was broken for a while and it had just been pushed on, so I assume it was a bad connection.

I have it tidied up and connected like this now, but would still rather have the part 100%.

Would you not just get a new connector from a scrap yard and join it?

 

[Lyons]

It's the connector on the actuator side Adam, which is part of the housing so its not just that easy sadly.

A good going over with a hot melt glue gun would sort that permanently.

 

[BobSpounge]

Thinking about what I've just suggested, if it gets really hot in that area the glue might melt again.

I want it fixed right, I've already done a bodge DIY job!
