All I did to fix said problem was tighten the wastegate actuator arm and hey presto, no more rattle. All the power has come back in the low range too. Its a pain in the backside to do because you have to remove quite a few things to get to it eg intake pipes to turbo, exhaust manifold heatshield (I bent mine, couldn't remove it fully), wipers. It does take a few hours 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does take a few hours Thanks for informing me! Yeah that is what i wanted to check, do you know the place for the WasteGate vacuum line in our car? P.S: is there any special technique needed to tighten the wastegate arm? ( saw couple videos about changing boost with it) and do i have to take anything into consideration?
