Hi Chaps

2007 1.8 tdci focus

Following the kind guidance of you guys and the info available, I believe I have found the cause of my low boost fault code.

(I am not a mechanic!). After doing all the checks recommended I eventually found that there appears to be nothing attached to the turbo solenoid and using an endoscope )off ebay) I looked lower down at the turbo and found the lever for the waste gate? with noting attached.

So the next question is can I get a replacement arm (or make one) to effect a repair. All guidance appreciated.

 

Regards

    cheers.
