Hi, currently shopping around for parts after the mechanic diagnosed a failed turbo actuator. Is it common practice to replace the turbo as well due to a new turbo having an actuator already fitted?

Anyone know where I can find specific part numbers? as Skoda don't want to share them with me as they want to sell me the parts at full RRP.

I've found a few genuine new turbos with actuators around £300 to £400 pounds all with identical part numbers bar the last letter which varies from X, M and H. Which indicates to me there is non visual differences in the parts?

The part number of the turbo actuator for the Skoda Rapid 1.0TSI might be 04E198725G. This OEM part number is also listed for the 1.0TSI engine used in some other Skodas including the Fabia MK3, Kamiq, Karoq, Octavia MK3, and Scala...so it's not just used for the 1.0TSI engine in the Rapid.

The listings on autodoc show that this part is out so stock, but it's listed in stock on "skoda parts com"...as linked to below.
