Perfect yes I have mr muscle already, will clean out hot side with that then use something else for cold side. Yeah I had a mechanic do it and remove it, was quite a headache alot had to come out but its finally done

Great thank you, do you recommend anything to clean it with? I'm sure it is this as it definatley feels gritty pulling it down

Hi thanks for reply, I am getting P00AF Turbo actuator stuck. I'm unsure if mine is spring loaded or electric, any way to check. I have the turbo here as I have removed it, I moved the vanes by hand again this morning and it seems moving down 50percent moves freely then the other 50 it feels gritty I'm thinking it could be this

Hi all, finding a issue with my fault code p00af. Actuator holds pressure ok, but on car does not spring back up very easily when moving up and down. Now disconncted actuator from vanes and vanes moves freely. Actuator moves up but still does not spring back down. Are these actuators supposed to spring back down when moving it up or is it moving slowly down how its supposed to be? Thanks

haha was hoping it was not the veins as that seems like a headache, only thing other than that i can think of is removing turbo cleaning cold side/ veins then refitting. Heard everyone on google say there p00af was the actuator itself rather than veins but it seems otherwise in my case. I did try to start using vpower diesel to see improvement but no did not really feel any difference. Thanks for advice i will try this and will hope to get it done. Yeah to be honest i thought it would be the actuator spring or maybe something else, when i pull the actuator up it hits some sort of spring i think that maybe the set screw. Other than that yeah it does move up and down just doesnt move back up when ive pulled down, Maybe able to attach a video for you to see? is it possible on here? only just joined not long ago lol

Hi thanks for reply yeah i did wd40 the actuator rod and moved it up and down for a few mins, started to work better but still did not spring back up on its own when i pressed it down. Is it supposed to? also i put it turbo cleaner yesterday direct into turbo and didnt really feel much of a difference, only that it felt like it had more power. At one point the actuator did start springing back up on its own but then after a drive i came back to check and it was the same as before again. Not sure if i should try turbo cleaner again but keep moving actuator while doing it as i did it every 10mins for a min or two. Egr cleaner is that the spray or fuel addictive.

Hi guys, following on my previous post p00af-turbo actuator stuck on my 2.0tdi i did a few tests with my actuator. Pulling down the actuator it moves but does not spring it self up on its own? Is this normal? I tried to put suction with my mouth onto the vac pipe to turbo and held it and it did not lose the vacuum. Do not know if this is a good enough test. Does this seem like the veins or actuator itself?

Hi thanks for the reply, is there any way of testing this? Also is the boost solenoid as some people call it called the n75?

Hi all getting this error code on my 2.0 tdi, anyone know what to check? Or had this issue and resolved it? Get limp mode occasionally when in high rpms. Turn car off and on and its fine again till high rpms.
