Turbo wastegate

skintnow · Jun 15, 2023

Hi Gents
A quick and probably stupid question .
My td5 wasregate is seized I believe.
Should I be able to move it by hand with the vacuum unit attached ?
And which way does the vacuum unit go does it push or pull.
Thanks guys

Hi, you can't move it with bare hand, you need a mole grips or something and you must push it toward the turbo ... what's the symptom?

She just feels very sluggish no smoke no rough running just sluggish and nano has no faults

If you have nanocom you can watch the turbo pressure or MAP to see if it's the wastegate or not cos if it's stuck open the boost will grow slighly from the beginning while if it works well it will start to rise harder only under load... is your's Eu2 or Eu3 engine?
