I have the 2010 jetta wolfsburg.
Wastegate actuator rod rattle.
Apparently it is the clip they will be installing.
Now as the tsb above states vw only covers 2008 2010 mk6 gtis.
The bulletin 21 10 01.
Boost pressure is applied to the canister and once the boost is higher than the spring pressure inside the canister the wastegate actuator rod starts to move and open the wastegate.
After 1 year this is finally going to be fixed and no more rattle for us all.
I had a small rattle at about 2000 rpm and traced it to the turbo actuator rod.
I adjusted it counting the of turns and got the slack out.
Unfortunately this is just a manufacturing fault.
So i adjusted it back.
Hi i am wondering if anyone here has knowlege on the wastegate actuator rod.

This rattle can occur on start up while idle or while accelerating from 1800 3000rpms.
Just got a call from vw today saying they have a fix.
This caused the turbo to not have much boost.
