Just changed myself, took 2 mins, having front tyres changed and asked while in the air to have a look from the underside, there's two 16mm bolts to remove the down pipe heatsheild and you can see the arm tucked away but can feed hand to push clip on - massive difference gone from a tin of stones to silent

Thanks for your insight bro. I have a Audi A3 2.0TFSI with a rattling wastegate and also sometimes it gives me a underboost fault code. Atleast thanks to your video it's clear where the issue lies.

So if you had the problem on a 20v 1.8t turbo you could just crank the wastegate tighter a few threads and snug things up. But in this case the wastegate flapper preload isn’t adjustable?

My question is is it normal for air to leak out where the hinge moves on the turbo?

can i use it also for a BMW Z4 e89 2.0? they told me at bmw that i have to replace the whole turbo to fix the problem

Does this affect the Golf GTD, as i get a vibration from what i thought was the gear box at about 3000rpm then goes off...thanks

Good stuff Charles, thanks.

I've got a 2010 leon fr with the 2.0 tsi. Is there supposed to be a circlip or anything where the actuator rod meets the turbo. I had mine completely separate itself from the turbo

Hi, I have this problem with my audi a5 2011 2.0 tfsi. So are you saying that the clip solves the problem?. I have took the car to the garage and they have told me I need new turbo even though they said the turbo is good and works very well. But to be able to fix that rattle noise the whole turbo would have to be replaced.!!. With a problem like this does it mean that potentially the turbo can go in the future?

will this work on a 1.0L TSI engine that has the same rattling issue?

My 2016 1.8 wastegate looks different and where would I put the clip?

is play in the wastegate what would cause a oil leak in the wastegate/turbo ? which would need a turbo replacement

Oh awesome you did a video on the clip too!

Boss!!! Thank You for your help. Keep up the great work.

hi where can i get this clip?

Hello I have seat leom mk2 1.4tsi where buy this clip?could you help me with name of the clip?thanks

Very clear info, good job!

My scirocco sounds like it rattles/ticking but only when letting off the throttle. Not at idle or steady rpm. Idk if this is a problem or not, no error codes.

Hey +HumbleMechanic i have a 2012 vw tiguan tsi le, and a 2012 vw beetle with the 2.5 I5. I recently purchased a VAG COM scanner from Xtool to clear the airbag light on the tiguan because i was messing around and unplugged the indicator while it was running. no big deal its fine now. MY question is what do i need to look out for on both cars the bettle has 25,000k and the tiguan 50,000k? i know the intake mani on the tsi will most likely fail but are 2012's at risk for the chain tensioner? Im a Mercedes mechanic and have several ase's. Id love to do more work on my vw's and your videos are a godsend. Thankyou! also the tiguan is on its 2nd water pump, i saw your video explaining why. Brings me back to the days of my 1.8T that ate a head because of the plastic impeller waterpump.

what about putting a coil in the wastegate and fix the coil somewhere?

What about P00AF? I have it only when car is cold... in very low rpm

Is there a solution for audi a3 1.8t tfsi 2014?

What was the mileage of that car? thank you.

Hello HumbleMechanic. Could you help me with issue I have. I have a 1.8 tfsi CABD engine and when I start up the car when engine is cold, my engine sound weird. The sound is not loud but I can hear it. Also sometimes there is little bit white smoke when there is 15 celsius outside. If it is colder then it is more smoke. My coolant level doesn't change. Also when I drive at around 2.000 rpm if I let off the gas peddal there is like tktktktk noise I can hear but it is really quiet. Is it possible pcv system could be the issue? Now when at idle with hot engine if I open oil cap there is little pressure inside I think. That could explain little oil escaping from left side of the engine (exhaust side). Leak is not that big since oil level changes in mmi 1/4 every 6.000km. Any input would be great. I have obdeleven so I can do some test if you can suggest any.

Will this work for 2016 Ford Fusion 1.5 turbo?

Where can you buy the clip?

Is it compatible with 1.2 TSI CBZ engine?

Charles will this work on the Mk7 ?

Hey Humblemechanic, love your channel. Very informative. Thanks. Any tips where I can buy one of these clips? Thanks

My turbo problem is that when i accelerate above 4k rpm the turbo stop working suddenly i cant know why

Would a forge wastegate be ideal on an fsi with giac "stage 2"?

Can you tell me the serial number of this part

I have put one on both a scirocco mk3 and a golf gti mk5 and it works

my man doin shorts in 2016 seein the future

Is there no preload regulation on this rod? Old 90s VW 1.8 k03 turbos has nuts on wg rod to adjust preload. Adjusting preload helps to get rid this gate valve play.

Thank you

You know, if the rattle is minor, meaning just the play in the wastegate, the problem can be resolved without a new turbo. Especially since all it takes is a $6.00 spring assortment from Pep Boys and a little time with some dremel bits. All I did was dremel a hole through the wastegate arm, attach a spring between that and the wastegate actuator. Bonus is it increases the boost a few pounds, but otherwise acts stock. Saved me a few thousand dollars getting the same crap engineering with a new turbo that's going to do the same thing again...and chances are the car will be sold before the turbo itself actually dies.

What kind of aftermarket product would fix this issue? Blow off valve, or new wastegate? I want to fix the problem with the turbo, not just make the noise stop. I have a MK7 GTi. Thanks!!

Please help! My 2012 CC turbo at certain times makes a noise like a referee's whistle. If I hit the gas hard, the noise goes away. Could this noise be what your video is about?

i have the same issue with my 1.0 TSI Engine. Cold Start rattles like hell

I have this clip fitted and it fixed the rattle on acceleration, but i get the rattle on deceleration. I have read others said it is still the actuator arm rattling and only way to fix this, is by replacing the turbo? Thanks in advance.

Anti- rattle clip installed and only worked for a month then rattle returned (a little at first then got worse). What’s next step in resolution?

I have the same problem, and this solution not works because the clip loosens after every days...

Hey Charles! How about changing the wastegate actuator to aftermarket actuator like Turbosmart, which has an adjustable screws? Thanks in advance!

hello I owned 2012 vw 2.0 tsi Tiguan 4motion automatic (non DSG) I want to upgrade my turbo to APR K04 is this possible ? Is there a danger to the gearbox?

I recently received a wastegate flapper repair kit I purchased on Amazon, and I`ve decided that while I`m replacing the flapper and bushing, I`m going to cut the end of the actuator arm off and thread it, then install a female rod end bearing on the end of the actuator arm. With a rod end bearing bolted solidly to the flapper lever, the pivot would be in the bearing which I think would be much beefier than the original setup and hopefully much less prone to wear. A silicone sleeve or bellows covering the entire area of the pivot would keep the bearing clean and dry. What do you think Charles......does this sound like a feasible cure for the actuator rattle problem?

Will this cause problems if I plan on running a pro tune and stage 2

Thanks for the video! I recently went to a service and they told me my wastegate is the problem of the low boost pressure error on a 2.0 TSI Scirocco. Can I change only the wastegate or the only option is to replace the whole turbo charger? Thanks!

Thanks for the video! Question: does this issue apply to the 1.8 tsi as well?

Any solution you recommend? And would the clip help with the rattle heard on the current mk7 turbo wastegate rods as well?

does this problem gives you an engine check light ? i did made a check and the dude said it is the wastegate

ok cool.. so how do I fix it without having to buy another turbo?

Hey HumbleMechanic, I've heard that you can bend the actual actuator rod to create a tighter fit and eliminate the wastegate rattle - - is that true, or will it kill the turbo?

Is this an OEM replacement or a generic aftermarket? I ask you this because there is normally a great difference in quality.

VW Up! GTI yes!

Big fan of the channel. Wife's car 2018 audi q3 (last year ccta engine for q3) with 48k kilometers. Got the p0299 code. Went to dealer under warranty and had the turbo replaced. Now I get the wastgate rattle from 2-3k rpm. Dealer says it's normal. I called b.s. Asked to go for a ride with the service manager he agreed he hears the noise and claims normal boosting sounds. Drove another q3 on the lot didn't make the noise. Service manager claims its the turbo manifold noise, and will go away after it carbons up. They won't do anytime and I'm stuck. Do you recommend I try this clip? The car never ever rattled from new between 2-3k rpm. Only now after changing turbo. Have to escalate now with audi canada. Do you know if this clip came installed on q3s from the factory? Thanks in advance for any insight. Cheers!

Will this affect going to a stage one tune

Hi. So I got this underboost codes popping up a couple of weeks ago. Today I found out that the rod that goes to the wastegate has completely broken off in the middle. I have pictures I can send you for you to understand better. I don't know if the actual wastegate is rattling, right not it's definitely the rod. English isn't my mother tongue, so it's hard to explain with words. My question is, is this repairable or not? If so, is it a DIY??

guys would really appreciate a reply on this, I need one for the KO3 Turbo as this clip is made for Ko4 turbos and when i tried to install it on mine I had a small gap as it was big. Any solution??????? pls help ... car is Seat Leon FR (KO3 turbo, BWA engine)

Hey m8! Is it possible to just put an big c clip of some sort?

Is this the K04 turbo? How is the issue rectified? New Wastegate? New turbo?

hey charles, any suggestions for sealing a leaky elbow connector on the wiper washer pump of a mkv jetta? the pump pressure tends to push the connector away, and open the leak between the single flange outlet on the pump and the sliding clip point of the elbow connector.

Can you have that rattle without having any fully codes? My Mk6 GTI is at almost 100k miles

This was an IS20 right? I've seen on forums that this is just "how its designed" and only the "IS38 turbo's wastegate seals perfectly tight" like whaaat? I just recently upgraded my downpipe on my mk7 16 GTI and I noticed that I did indeed have a spinning loose jiggly waste gate and am still under warrenty and throw no codes. I hope my VW dealer is willing to fix me up with my turbo inlet pipe, turbo muffler (which i might revert to stock for those) intake, intercooler, and downpipe upgrades... not once tuned. Though i can recall hearing this rattle on the ride home from buying as it was used at 16k miles I have now confirmed that the rattle has made its way to the wastegate itself upon stock downpipe removal.

is there any fix for this issue aside from a complete turbo replacement?

About how much does it cost to fix the rattling sound?

Also, are you saying the clip will cause underboost error? A response will be much appreciated 🙏🏼

So is VW putting a long term warranty on the defective turbo versions, or are they going to be at customers expense? I have an early mk7 GTI and I'm a little scared to check the part number on the turbo.

I'm dealing with this problem p0299 waste gate loose 2011 tiguan 4motion 130K

No one can help me ? I have a mk6 Gti TSI same clip and it keeps falling off and it doesn’t stay in place it twists left and right still…

Love the channel keep it up! Question on diesel gate. What if any VW would you recommends, for a family of three, performances in important to me. More into comfort and sleepers than flash bang . This diesel gate thing is like my own personal crying game, EXCEPT I want a divorce from my 2013 Passat tdi with manual. I want to stay with Germany metal. It lasts longer that Japanese metal on Korean metal. Thoughts Audi, Bmw or DAS Auto VW

i tried to put one on my tiguan its impossible to get it on! there's barely room to get your fingers up to it with 4motion in the way and once you get the clip lined up i had no leverage to push it on as it's tight .so frustrating

I have got a new manifold and it has the same wastegate clearance as before... so new ones are not fixes plates at all.

How do you fix that in an old turbo? Specifically in a '74 2.6 inline 6 Nissan Datsun 260z. Do you have to replace the whole waste gate or what?

06J145220A the Good one for Golf 6 gti 2010? 2.0 t

Try e clips.

seem like the 2.0 tsi is a vary unreliable engine, or at least every component it has is of poor quality

Check code p0299?

this didnt help

such a shoddy design... why are they using a "loose" fitting on the gate instead of tig-weld it to the arm?, that thing WILL fail always.... it also looks like the arm don't even have a bearing it's just a shaft seal :/
