I have had a intermittent boost positioning arm error. On closer inspection of the actuator see it's dated 2006 by the stamp on the cover... on a 2011 car so a refurbished item from a previous owner looks like. No problem if it's the correct one but how do I check? I see there is a range of actuator numbers beginning 6NW but can't find anywhere a table with any tie between actuators and turbos. Anyone help please? Even emailed Garrett - nothing.
Just trying to find out if this, apart from potentially being at fault (the arm adjusting the vanes moves freely when the engine is hot) is the correct version actuator for this turbo given it appear older than the car.
I had the cover off this one cleaned up with IPA and white greased. Nothing I can see in the gears is bad but maybe the motor is failing. When blipping the accelerator no arm movement but the %feedback in icarsoft looks like what you would expect - 5% upto ~60%+. Electro/mechanical fault suspected?
MB dealer only interested in selling me a new turbo and has no reference to the actuator number I'm told.
Turbo is :
Anyone fancy having a check what they have fitted on a similar model as a backup reference. Thanks.
