You need to be careful here. The charge pressure actuator is only available on some of the turbos fitted.Otherwise you will need a complete turbo with actuator. Also needed will be diagnostic equipment to set up the system and you need to make sure that the latest engine software is loaded. Try for a goodwill fix,or take it to a good VW indy repairer. Where in the world are you located?

OK so it turns out on this engine code CJZA they can just swap out the actuator.

And this costs £165 for the part and £153 for the labour.

I was surprised they had the part on the shelf ready to fit.....

I asked my dealer if there was any goodwill given it was such a new car and low miles and they came back with giving me the part for free but charging labour.

The service advisor let slip there is a TSB out for this, so I rather suspect I could have negotiated harder, but I needed the car really tomorrow I I paid up for the labour.

And yes they charged £85 for diagnosis too as they are "not a participating dealer" in the vw fixed price servicing scheme.

To my surprise the CJZA engine is also a belt driven cam, I thought when buying it they were all chain driven! Well it turns out the belt needs changing at 5 years.... I chose a chain engine to avoid regular large bills....
