Where does my wastegate/actuator plumb to?
I have a 2009 1.6 tdci Ford focus that I bought recently not running. Having fixed it and getting it going I noticed that it wasn't boosting and and after some investigation I found that the wastegate (or actuator depending on what you call it) hanging off the bottom of the turbo isn't connected. There's a place for the hose to connect on the wastegate but I can't find where to connect it to. There definitly isn't any loose hoses in the engine bay so I've come to the conclusion that its completely missing. Any help would be really appreciated.
It normally connects to a solenoid valve that in turn connects to a vacuum pickup on the inlet manifold.
This thread on the ford owners club site has details and photos of where the control valve is located
- Where can I get a door actuator? I have a Mercury Villager 2002. I need to replace a door actuator but unfortunately Ford does not make the part any more. I do not know how to work on cars and to find things at junk yards. How can I go about getting the part? My mechanic says he can't find the part…
- When a Ford Coil Pack goes bad, does it do so all at once or does it show symptoms first? 96 Windstar is not firing, did not run rough, never hesitated, always silky smooth idle & acceleration, good MPG, no smoke, no rotten egg smell… This morning (warm weather) it will not fire.
- How to unplug a car door actuator? I have a 98 ford falcon and the central locking doesn't work, the locks automatically go down and up again. The same happens if I do it manually. I think it is an actuator problem. How do I unplug the actuator so that I can manually lock the doors (I'm ok being able to just manually lock them so don't want to replace the actuators).
- 2012 Ford Focus 2.0 engine, with code P090C, Clutch B actuator control circuits low, does mean I need a new transmission? The car acceleration during driving is lagging, it's like it does not take off normally, and reverse goes out, until I turn the car off for a while then on again, it responds normally for a short time
