I absolutely flooded the area with the penetrating fluid by running it down a tube to the assembly and left overnight before working it back and forth with a long rigid skewer hooked over the ball connector - difficult to see what the tool is onto there. Must stop buying shiny toys....

Hi fewst


Don’t know if it’s just the picture

But is that clip broke on the upper part of the short hose , also , zoomed in and around the bottom clip it looks like a split in the hose , again might just be the way the picture was taken

Also used some ceramic spray to soak the actuator arm which worked a treat

Good luck and that u get it sorted out without removing the turbo

Just to confirm...

Hi

Having looked again at the photo, is your tool attached to this part of the actuator arm, as this is where i was connected to - see arrow



This arm and connection can also be ordered as a spare from AF - Its part number LR023086G - I got one to replace mine but as it freed up didnt ever use it - no clue where it went though Laughing Laughing Must stop buying shiny toys....

Yup hooked on with the tool onto the arm, between it and the ball that you can just about see so you can’t see the shaped end of the tool, but it looks like this..


Since the photo I’ve cleaned the entire area and the hoses and clips are all ok. As per PeteK comment and The uTube videos show it disappearing out of sight from this position so I confident it’s got to go away from me hence the rod/hammer approach. Still didn’t move Big Cry

Here is another pic (from under the car looking upwards) with the rod I used to hit the ball of the actuator inserted in place.

I tried the freeing out method. soaked it over 2 days with penetrating oil, I removed the oil inlet tube and got good access to push / pull the actuator.
The movement was improved but still sticky so I removed the turbo (with the body on)
My issue was the bolt in the linkage was seized, no amount of freeing oil / push pull of the actuator would have cleared it completely

Check out this video
it will show you how much the actuator moves when it is free

Thanks for video. Did you fit a new turbo?
