Turbocharger Actuator 2.0 TDI 03L253053G 03L253056 03L253056A 03L253019J 03L253056A 03L198716A

I have a ( CBDC ) engine 2.0l tdi 110 81kw passat B6 2009 and it works perfectly. Fit this loosely with only 1 nut screwed up to on the rod as far up as it can go, and push the linkage for the the turbo as far up as it will go, mark it and cut the rod 2 inches below that and clean the thread ( Cutting THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY) but makes it really easy to fit, (basically a gamble)a normal 1/4 10mm deep socket and small ratchet will tighten it when refitting it. (Or dont cut it, you may have the proper socket and patience or you may have a faulty item and void the warranty!!!) remove the plastic pipe at the bottom of turbo,its held in with 1 tourqe screw at the rear and it rotates off, this makes it easy for the ratchet to turn a couple of clicks, Fit the part and tighten the 3 10mm bolts,put on the bottom nut and screw up as far as you can by hand,then screw down the top nut, (a bit tricky) tighten bottom nut with socket, put a dab of heat resistant silicone on bottom of nut to stop it working loose or use a second nut to lock it. This is around a 45min - 60min job in total, easy enough but not for a beginner. on this engine CBDC you will not need to program it with a computer if its done as i said. It may work with other engines, i have fitted 2 to my car now with no problems, the last one lasted 2 years and started loosing pressure. Again this works perfectly. The main dealer now supply this part for about €200 i think,Hope this helps someone who hasnt got a ball of money to throw at someone to do it for them, again you must know a bit about working on engines to attack this yourself. (Be careful nothing falls into your turbo and is left behind) engine light will clear itself if that was the fault but data will remain on the cars computer.

After spending best part of a Sunday in the cold trying t change this only to get everything done to start the vehicle only to realise DING DING DING the part doesn't work, Fun knowing I am now £50 for the part and £80 labour out of pocket only to make it worse had to buy the part from TPS which was a lot more in price but then had to pay another £80 to get it fitted and guess what it actually cured the problem. Learn from my mistakes don't try cut corners, just pay the little extra the first time and get a fully assured part from places like TPS etc.I hope this review is a help to anyone else looking to change this part.

I was skeptical reading the reviews about holes not lining up etc, mine arrived quickly on prime. I looked and vacuum tested the device all tested as expected. I then removed the air box from the car the crank case breather and intercooler to turbo pipe to give more access, I then cracked the nut on the bottom of the old actuator, and undone with my finger, I then disconnected the air pipe to the actuator and undone the three bolts that hold it on. (A little difficult because of the oil feed to turbo pipe). I undone the brackets to allow minimal movement of the pipe and removed the hole thing, (those nuts undo literally 1/4 at a time) just be patient.Once removed I measured from the base of the actuator to the bottom of the nut, it was 23.6mm on mine. And replicated this with thread lock and for instant stick a dab of hot glue onto the new actuator, I spotted it into the car and replaced the three nuts, they lined up just fine ( little tip place nuts into there holes above the oil pipe and jiggle them into place). Again take you time doing up.Another good tip, apply vacuum to the new actuator and hold it on, this will expose the threads and make it easier to connect the rods up. Tighten up the nuts fit the clamp and put it all back together.Ideally get it plugged in to bag com and check boost actuator voltages are in tolerance.Took for road test and thumbs up jobs a Goodun.5 stars from me, better that VW prices for cega engine type 170bhp.Took about 2 hours but I was taking my time ensuring to cover turbo holes with latex gloves to prevent me dropping anything in etc.

Works perfectly. Very easy to change this part, 3 10mm bolts to remove with a spanner (I did it without removing the oil feed pipe to the turbo, it's tight but doable). Then used a 1/4" deep 10mm socket that I cut a slit 80% of the way down, so I could pass the threaded bar through and get onto the 10mm nut. Once the nut is cracked, you should be able to loosen with fingers and should be able to remove now. DO NOT move the nut highest up the threaded bar, use a vernier caliper to measure the distance from the base of the actuator to the bottom (not the top) of the nut. On the new actuator set the nut at the exact same distance measured and threadlock in place (don't fit until threadlock is set).Fitting is basically the same but in reverse (don't forget threadlock on the nut at the bottom of the threaded bar).There is a little metal clip designed to fit over the 2 nuts to stop them vibrating loose, it's impossible to get on with the turbo attached to the car. I have always just discarded this as that's what the threadlock is for (make sure you give it chance to set before starting the car) . I would advise investing in a vac pump/tester for fitting (£15-20) in order to test the new part isn't faulty and it helps in the fitting process to put varying amounts of vac in to get the nut on and to tighten, due to tight space.If you follow these instructions avoids the need for setting up with VCDS, which nearly everyone insists you need for this job. I have done a fair few of these now and when tested on VCDS have always been within tolerance.

For anyone doing this please make sure you have VAG Com and a vacuum pump, there is a thread on internet for which voltage you need to adjust the actuator to, but apart from that Very pleased with this product works really well and had no problems since fitting, I have actually bought 2 and both cars have not had any DTC come back, highly recommend for the price

Cumple con lo que esperas para poder recibirlo y cambiarlo sin problema. Gracias

Un ricambio senza marchio ma funziona benissimo. Montato su una Golf 6 2.0 tdi. Bisogna fare attenzione durante la registrazione tramite i dadi.

Hat super gepasst konnte ohne Probleme angelernt werden.

Pièces de bonne qualité , montage et réglage fait . Top !!!(A ceux qui on encore le défaut , il faut régler la tige avec le diag comme je l ai fais )

Risolto il problema a basso costo.
