  • ko3 wastegate actuator

    Can anyone tell me if there's much involved in replacing the wastegate actuator on the turbo? It's on a 2000 audi a4.
    I think i'll have to take the turbo off to get to one of the bolts so I'll replace gaskets. Is it just a matter of pulling the front off and then unbolting the turbo (I know this can be the hard part trying not to snap the bolts on the turbo after the heating they've had)??

    Just spent 2k so I'm strapped atm and labour won't be cheap for what i'm thinkihg is a reasonably straight forward swap....

    also, has anyone got one they want to SELL????????

    Someone must have a KO3 lying around! let me know if you do I'm currently running 3psi!! Yes 3! Need the actuator asap!

    Thanks fellas

    You can get a wastegate actautor from Forge mate, the rods are common for snapping and leaving the wastegate wide open. you dont need the front off to do the turb mate. Get your aircleaner out completely and you will see it opens up a lot of room for you
