After 1 year this is finally going to be fixed and no more rattle for us all.
Wastegate actuator rod rattle.
Wastegate actuator rod rattle solved 06 24 2011 03 29 pm 74.
This rattle can occur on start up while idle or while accelerating from 1800 3000rpms.
I adjusted it counting the of turns and got the slack out.
Unfortunately this is just a manufacturing fault.
So i adjusted it back.
Called the dealer and set up an appt.
Apparently it is the clip they will be installing.
The rattle is caused by the wastegate actuator rod rubbing back and forth on the wastegate and can be quite annoying.
Boost pressure is applied to the canister and once the boost is higher than the spring pressure inside the canister the wastegate actuator rod starts to move and open the wastegate.
I have the 2010 jetta wolfsburg.
Now as the tsb above states vw only covers 2008 2010 mk6 gtis.
Just got a call from vw today saying they have a fix.
The bulletin 21 10 01.
This caused the turbo to not have much boost.
