Actuator on top of turbo - 2.5TD
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2018 5:45 pm
Hi, sorry for a basic question but I'm no turbo expert I'm afraid.
On the top of the turbo unit there is an actuator with a shiny rod on one side and a vacuum pipe on the other - this vacuum pipe is short and connects to one of the main air pipes on the turbo (I think this is the main air outlet pipe of the turbo).
Shuold this rod move either when I rev the engine or if I try to move it with a pair of pliers? It seems to not move under either situation so wondering if it is stuck. I have decent power and fuel consumption so I'm thinking that the turbo is generally working OK
thanks
