I posted this query a while back but no-one picked it up because it was sort of hidden at the end of someone else's thread.
1st question: I would like to replace the vacuum wastegate actuator (see red circle) but can't seem to find one anywhere. Anyone got any ideas?
2nd question: my engine is supposed to be a 1.6 TD. Can anyone indicate which bit of the photo is the turbo? (As you can see - engines are not my forte!)
cheers
where is the turbo?

Re: where is the turbo?
I think I know where this one is going, but I ain't an expert on Diesels, so will wait to see if I am right

Re: where is the turbo?
turbo is down below the air filter. Follow the exhaust from back box towards the engine. The exhaust attaches to the turbo

Re: where is the turbo?
Thanks. Much appreciated on both counts. Sheesh though! 180 quid for that little thing. Perhaps I should change my question to "does anyone know where I can get a cheap LDA?" At least I know what it is called now. Do you think a second hand one would be a bad idea?
