Re: Turbo Underboost??

Post by dietrs@gmail.com »

There is no way of me getting in there. I managed to remove the three screws on the right side that holds the bracket that the actuator sits on but I can barely even see the rod below. I took some pictures but it seems I cant post it here. If I click insert image it writes a few words.

Anyway, the head cover restricts access to the rod and sits right in front of the actuator rod. Would this mean I will have to take out the injectors and the whole cover before getting access to the rod? You can see the cover by searching for "vw tiguan 2.0tdi head cover" in google and have a look at the first image that comes up if you want to. Not sure about this anymore as taking out the injectors, I will probably have to replace seals and everything?
There is no way of getting in from the bottom as it is a 4Motion and I can not even see the turbo clearly from below.

Much appreciate your help.
