Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 2008 Tiguan Turbo Actuator

    Hi Guys,

    My Dad has a 2008 Tiguan TDI which currently goes into limp mode, when the hot plug light comes on.

    Taking into the local mechanic, they have suggested to replace the turbo. A cost of over $2000 AUD. Doing some research it appears to potentially be the turbo actuator. However have been told that this part is not available in Australia from VW as a repair kit anymore, and thus need to order from overseas.

    For reference the fault codes coming up are:

    09572 - Turbocharger Boost Control Position Circuit Signal Too Low (P2564 Intermittent)
    09571 - Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Circuit Implausible Signal (2563 Intermittent)

    Is anyone able to tell me the part number I need to order, or reference a website in which we can order. I have been told the turbo part is 03L255019J however not sure what I need to get, don't want to order the wrong part.

    Thanks in advance!

    Get in touch with Darkside Developments in the UK - they sell the turbo's and actuators for any of the VW TDI engines. Try and get the part number off your existing actuator so you can find a direct like-for-like replacement unit.

      My MY008 does the same thing. It often happens on a hill when I push the accelerator down. There is a lack of power and then it goes into safe mode.
      I took it to the mechanic who charged $1500 to replace a sensor however the problem still occurs intermittently.
