Yeh just depends if its.fully sealed unit, as seen on some obviously a little easier if its outside the turbo...looking online for a turbo for it looks pretty sealed i think  :undecided: :nerd:

Golf mk7 / Re: Coolant silicon bag

I'm having my matrix replaced next week at my dealers so I'm hoping they will have to drain the whole system which means they'll have to replace with G12 Eco.  As I've mentioned I took my bag out within 6 months of buying my car over 5 years ago.

Maybe query that they've turned you down under the All-in plan, I've got the same issue and mine is going in on Wednesday to my dealer and all of the work is being covered with the All-in warrantee.  They have allocated three days so fingers crossed I'll have it back on Friday although they did initially have it back twice to test and take readings which they submitted before okaying the work.

Yeah you could be right to be honest - Only real way to tell is get until the car and see if there is play.

Just looking at other forums about this issue and came across a silicate cartridge you can get instead of a bag - looks like a small white cylindrical plastic object that goes inside the expansion tank and you can get them for about. £20.00 - supposed to be stronger than a bag but still need changing every few years - unclear as to if you just place it inside the tank or maybe there is specific tank for them - as been mentioned, VW put the bags in to help prolong coolant anti corrosion properties and unless you change to G12 Evo keeping to G13 without the bag could compromise this? Google VW silicate cartridge and you will see them - anybody have more info on this  ?

Earlier also I have Engine light on, good old Google said its possible after the 3 new things I've had yesterday aslong as goes away after a couple of days?

Like I say it drives fine (not that I've booted it) and also to be cautious with the light on now.

Coolant seems ok atm .

Is it possible to replace the actuator/wastegate if its/thats this rattle and the sound on that clip?
Or is it fully enclosed and you cant open the turbo up to change that part anyways?

Im in Norwich fella
