Ended up needing a new actuator/wastegate unit. First thing that's gone wrong on car in 75k. But still at £430 quid fix. At least it wasn't the turbo!

Hello, I have a middle of 2012 105 1.2 TSi Fabia (DSG) (about 75k miles). It on and off has thrown a EPC code (once every three monthy) - which normally I could clear by a stop and start. Until today. It's the dreaded P334b error (and P334a). EPC and sometimes the Exhaust symbol comes up. I tried waggling the actuator rod - and cleared the code and started again. The rod moves back and for now - but I've no idea whether there's anything simple I can do? The Skoda dealership has the next slot on March 10th to look at it! https://photos.app.goo.gl/eQjzsuNku6UTvFKF7 - a rather shaky video. Considering the car lives in a garage pretty corroded in there. Engine code is CBZB. There's no shim. Any ideas appreciated.
