Wastegate Actuator Adjustment

[katanamst279]

Hello Everyone.

Recently my car has been going into limp mode. I got the car and it says that the wastegate actuator is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted.

Can anyone share info on how to do this?

Thanks

Thanks a bunch!

I had flashed my car back to stock to see if it was something with the tune but it wasn't.

Is it ok to flash back to stage 2 before I do the adaptation, or does it not matter?

So I am still having problems. Even with the longer adapter on the actuator the voltage is still at 4.65V. The voltage still wont change even though I am doing the adjustment the right way. Do you know if this mean I have a bad turbo? I'm honestly not even sure where to go from here.

Pop off DP
Undo actuator arm
does wastegate flapper move freely by hand?

I am not sure. I need to check. Will a bad wastegate arm affect the actuator voltage though?

Hey I am getting for the lower value 3.570V and upper of 0.570V. When I run the "First adaptation of the charge pressure actuator test", I get aborted for safety reasons.

Any advice on what to do now?

What voltage is showing for the acknowledged value?

It is showing 4.551V right now

I can't get the part to adjust for some reason

Try this for me? No one will tell me if this works.

Clear all codes.
Push WG flapper closed by hand with DP off and run adaptation with ignition ON (not running).

I believe when the voltage is that far off you will not be able to complete the first time adaptation without getting the safety alert.

Have you tightened up the wastegate rod?

When I did this adjustment it wasn't until the voltage dropped to below about 4v that the adaptation procedure would complete.

I tried adjusting the rod but the voltage just stays the same

What is the voltage for closed position?
