    Hi,

    There's a lot of confusion over the engine type there.

    It can't be Ecoboost, 1.6 Diesel and Endura.  Those are 3 very different engine types.

    Can you please confirm which of those is correct?

    Sorry for the mixup, it's definitely 2012 1.6 (1560cc) diesel mondeo titanium estate.

    I'm waiting for him to arrive home to get vin number.

    Thanks. 

    The turbo on these is a small VNT turbo right at the front of the engine. 

    The actuator itself is bolted directly onto the turbo with a metal rod to control the vane position. 

    The electronic solenoid that controls the vacuum for the actuator is bolted either behind or to the side of the engine.  It can be found by simply following the vacuum pipe from the turbo actuator itself.

    Hope that helps.  If not, I'll try to find a suitable picture later.
