The dreaded turbo actuator rattle 1.5TSI

[cgreggers]

I have a 2019 FR ST in the 1.5 TSI 150ps variant and it seems to have the actuator rod rattle that the 1.4/1.5's experience. However all information on fixes are for either the 1.4 or the 2.0 engine and the rod looks different to those engines. Is the fix still the same? (High temp grease).

I see some people use this little clip on the 2.0 engines but wondered if it would work for the 1.5.

Any ideas from others?

I believe that this repair kit should be provided for free, and not sold for exorbitant money

Thanks for your reply. Agree it's ridiculous they're charging for this! Spoke to the parts team who said the part without the 'A' on the end includes the actuator rod, would I need that too? Or just the washer and circlip?

no rod required. The factory must install this repair kit free of charge and apologize for its mistakes to the consumer. I accidentally found a new turbine and actuator on the market. Installed and there is no sound.

I have some unresolved issues and would like to chat with a vag group engineer about certain issues. I believe that engine creators should not work for such gross mistakes and the cars should be tested for 400,000 km. I feel any problems when I drive

Does anyone actually try to use those rattle reducer clips? Does that actually eliminate the issue?

 

[cgreggers]

I still haven't tried them but the reference photo you shared is not the 1.5 tsi DADA engine actuator so I can't say if those clips would work.

Yeah I know that those are from the different engines actually. The rod looks the same though. And the clip for turbo wastegate lever also has those "notches" at 1.5 TSI engines so it might fit as well. I'll give it a try and let you know if it helped or not.

Interested to learn how you get on with them!
