2011 gti turbo actuator rattle
« on: 18 July 2019, 23:41 »
Hi I’m a new member just recently bought a golf gti dsg for the mrs and ever since owning it it’s had a rattle from the turbo actuator it’s already got the clip that helps stop the rattle but it’s still got it and it seems to be from the exhaust side what have people done to fix this?or where have they bought there new turbos from?
Cheers
