1.8T , Wastegate actuator... ?

Post by 2stroke »

B5.5

Is it at all possible to check and/or adjust the wastegate actuator with turbo still in place in the car ?

It looks like the threaded actuator arm is mounted too crowded/poky to be able to check/adjust it, Or ?

( I need to check if the actuator spring has got weak )
