    Another great informative video, I have ordered a vacuum pump today so I can stop guessing, thanks again.

    -0.9bar (6-7psi) is the rated spring tension if anyone wants to know.

    what is a good boost, should they be actual and specified to be monitored and what are the deviations between them,
    how to adjust the lever on the actuator, it must be correct with a wedge on which it stops or lengths for 1 round of thread. I would not take the turbine but on the spot to set up

    When I do test like this I can not create vacuum, however when I reconnect the hose to the vnt, I can see the rod moving. If the vnt is broken can the rod still move? (car is a golf mk6 tdi 2.0)

    If its a vacuum type, if i adjust the actuator does it mean i should adjust it towards opening the actuator or closing the actuator?

  • @vaclavhanzl8193

    Guys please, anyone, help me, please. So I when I start the engine the actuator should suck in and move down?! Do I get it correct?

  • @jayedwards7067
    @jayedwards7067 Před 8 lety +2

    Hi SiRobb thanks for the great vids,would the actuator be cycled on tick over or only on acceleration, sorry if that sounds like a dumb question,my 2002 d5 actuates on tick over not had a chance to test with vac pump yet

    • @sirobb
      @sirobb  Před 8 lety

      Hi.
      At idle, the turbo won't be actuated as such (at least not constantly) because no boost is being demanded.
      If you watch it from engine off to idle, yes you'll see it move as it finds its position.
      If you increase revs then return to idle, you should see the actuator arm move.
      It won't move as much as when manipulated with the vacuum pump because full boost won't be required or allowed when the vehicle stationary.

    • @jayedwards7067
      @jayedwards7067 Před 8 lety

      its actually pulling full cycle on idle

    • @sirobb
      @sirobb  Před 8 lety

      +jay edwards When you say "full cycle", are you measuring your boost levels or just going by the position of the arm?
      What happens to the arm when you increase revs?
      I haven't personally observed the exact arm positions for different boost levels and instead use diagnostics.
      If boost is out of spec, I take it from there.

      It's booked back in to Volvo next week again but no one is able to cure it.it smokes @1800rpm not above or below don't do it till full running temp all injectors new egr clean full service history ?? 2002 d5 11700miles any ideas ??

    Hi Si !
    And take for all the content u bring us !
    I bought a V70 2004 D5 and I have many issues which I find answers on your channel, such as EGR cleaning ( code P0401 gone ).
    Still have a boost issue that can causes trouble on going uphill. I feel like the motor don't have all the power it can have.
    Have a turbo whistle has the motor increase rpms.
    I don't know where to start tracing that problem ? I have no faulty code, only a old turbo wastegate range/performance which I deleted and never came back.

    • @entieda8409
      @entieda8409 Před rokem

      You might have a cooler/turbo hose turning into a balloon or leaking at high boost, or a tcv valve problem maybe

Most when engine is too hot when is cold work almost every time.full bosst without bost on boost off like push the petal and leave and push again we can find what is the problem new plugs new coils bypass n249 nes n75 new blow-off valve

    so, you introduce air into the actuator or draw air out of it. that I don't understand?

    Hi SiRobb great videos, is it possible to replace the actuator without removing the turbo?

    • @sirobb
      @sirobb  Před 8 lety

      If you ever see advertised a "turbo core", that's basically a Turbo without an actuator so it is possible but difficulty of removal can vary across different designs.

  • @claymane91
    @claymane91 Před 6 lety

    That cheap tester really sucks, if you don't have that vacuum tester you can get a hose and suck with your mouth, if the wastegate actuator works fine there is nothing to be worried about (it worked for me). next step is to test the vacuum pump in that case you will need a vacuum tester, then if you get a full reading you might test the vacuum boost solenoid (you might have full reading on the gauge). after these steps you will need to check the hoses. connecting vacuum pump to solenoid to the actuator.
