Thanks a lot for that writeup. In terms of the T30 removal what about a bit with a ball end which would allow the bolt to be attacked at an angle? I saw this one on Amazon: You also noted that you replaced the troublesome bolt with a hex head. Considering the thread over on VWV is a couple...

Are you aware of any tutorials for replacing the actuator on a 4-Motion car? Can it be done without removing the turbo?

Hey everyone, been super busy. I'm still getting the EPC light with the same code - P00AF/3B62 which clears after restarting the car. I finally got around to checking the wastegate voltage using OBD11. With the car cold, ignition on (not running) it was sitting at 3.8428v. Is this considered on...

As the topic states. I need to replace the turbo actuator, and was told I have to remove the turbo for this job. I have basic tools and was wondering if there are some special or specific tools that would make the job easier. This will be the first time I've attempted this on my own, and will be...

First off let me say that I, and I'm sure many others, are appreciative of Jay holding down the fort on his own. I've suggested in the past that maybe he could share his credentials with a few other trusted members to help him with the cleanup. Let's be honest here, I'm sure he's not going to...

Very true, but several band-aid's are better than one.

I had mentioned this as well, and even suggested that maybe the solo mod could give his credentials to a few trusted members here to take some of the workload off of him. It's become very clear that the functionality of this site as a whole is on borrowed time.

This may be the only thread to post this, but has the forum been abandoned? Seems for the past several days it's nothing but spam posts/threads. Goes on for 30+ pages.

Hope you save room for regret if/when you wish to sell the car and return it to stock.

Not dramatic sounding enough🤪

I may do this, but they're probably heavy and not connivant to store, which seems to be the only advantage of the 1700.00 plastic ones.

Also this...

Those are the exact ones I saw..... ....and this.

I thought I saw in a YouTube video (or maybe my imagination) of what appeared to be an extra long Rhino type ramp set that you could drive the entire car on. I was thinking that would be great for a DSG/Haldex service where the car needs to be level, Yes I know I could use jack stands but like...

Bumping this thread as I just received the part and before installing want to confirm that part number 06J-145-612-J is the correct actuator for an IS38. Thank you!

Thanks for confirming. I figured that was the case when CTS, and Uni stated that they were not returnable nor had a warranty.

Thank you. I ordered the second option as it referenced the IS38 part number.

I found this one on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLCJQ3DJ/?coliid=I1MRV1V67H8KI7&colid=LVD2RC4727GH&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it I noticed that Unitronic and CTS sell one as well, and on both it clearly states that there's no warranty and they are not returnable which leads me...

I'm running HPA's IS38 OEM+ turbo, and just got a P00AF/3B62 code accompanied by an EPC light which indicates that the wastegate actuator is faulty. When I shut the car off and restart, the EPC light is gone and the car runs normally for about an hour before it triggers again. I can purchase a...

I think it's great that you're doing this for us, but I gotta ask when is the last time you saw this thing? lol.. Must have been to all 50 states by now. Maybe even several times over!
