Need expert turbo diagnostic advice... Wastegate actualtor rod movable, but not moving as engine is
revved.
1998.5 1.8T 115k miles.
The car is lacking it's normal power. So, my question is:
When the car is in nuetral and the throttle is revved from idle to 2500-3500rpms, should the wastegate actuator rod move in and out? As I rev the engine, the rod is not moving. I thought I recall seeing it move in the past.
I'm trying to diagnose this as a turbo, wastegate or N75 valve issue. My fear is that the wastegate valve has become detached (replace turbo/wastegate.)
