Wastegate actuator rod rattle.
Hi i am wondering if anyone here has knowlege on the wastegate actuator rod.
Called the dealer and set up an appt.
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.
The bulletin 21 10 01.
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.
The rattle is caused by the wastegate actuator rod rubbing back and forth on the wastegate and can be quite annoying.
I have the 2010 jetta wolfsburg.

Now as the tsb above states vw only covers 2008 2010 mk6 gtis.
The actuator is a boost actuated diaphragm inside a canister with a rod sticking out as shown below.
So i adjusted it back.
This caused the turbo to not have much boost.
Apparently it is the clip they will be installing.
