Well - £446 later, car is back. Turbo actuator replaced, plus scanning, plus coding it in to pair up with the turbo. The old one was quite corroded. 😑 That's over 800 quid since Christmas.. just on one car... 🤑

you make some good points nta16. I don't do much work on my cars, but I do good quality oil changes about 6k miles or so. The Rapid sees a good mix of driving, short/long, and was looked after well, til in the last few months a teenage learner got access 😒

My 2015 1.2TSI is having the actuator replaced at a local garage this week, quoted £400+ 😕 Car went into limp mode, with check engine and ECP lights. I have basic ability to scan codes at home, so knew this was the issue - but what a pricey item. Car has 98k miles, is looked after and not driven hard. Is it just my experience (BMW and a couple of Vauxhalls) but cars don't seem to last these days.

Same problem just happened to me this week. Bulbs and fuses are fine. Any others had this ? High beam still works.
