Wastegate actuator rod rattle.

Hi i am wondering if anyone here has knowlege on the wastegate actuator rod. Apparently it is the clip they will be installing. 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.

After 1 year this is finally going to be fixed and no more rattle for us all. Unfortunately this is just a manufacturing fault. 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.

This caused the turbo to not have much boost. The bulletin 21 10 01. Called the dealer and set up an appt. The rattle is caused by the wastegate actuator rod rubbing back and forth on the wastegate and can be quite annoying.

I had a small rattle at about 2000 rpm and traced it to the turbo actuator rod. The actuator is a boost actuated diaphragm inside a canister with a rod sticking out as shown below.
