Metalic noises in turbo area - wastegate actuator?

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I have a 1.6 THP 156HP

I have a ticking noises in turbo area. They are not very loud but they can be heard for a second or two when I'm putting an engine on revs. As I've discovered they are caused by a little loose on a wastegate actuator.As it is shown on this picture:

It can be move up and down (in vertical direction - not horizontal) by about a 1-2 milimeters. Is it a seurious problem - should my whole turbocharger be replaced on warranty or there is possible to do adjustment to fix this loose?

And heres is the photo showin where this wastegate actuator is. You can try to move it by using a piece of wire witha hook on one end. Try to hook it and pull it up and down ana se if it is loose.

And here is a link to other forum (e-tuners) with my post (same post):

One of experts from e-tuners reply me,that a little loose on a wastegate actuator which I've described is quite normal thing and it can cause such noise. He said that there is nothing to worry about. I found that there is exactly the same problem in VW TSI egnines but they work out a solution for this. You can read about it here:

I have just posted the same question in this area. Peugoet have replaced my turbo because of the noise and the new one still makes it. I would let you dealer know because I am now waiting for a fix from the turbo manufacturer and the more of us there are, the more chance of it not becoming a 'characteristic' of the car.

That's good service from Peugeot. The fix from VW was a clip on the actuator rod.
