The K03 I was just about to put on my 1.6td, has a frozen wastegate. ( actually the other 2 K03's are the same)
I've tried lightly hammering on the lever and the housing - but no movement. Tried applying a bit of air to the actuator - no go.
Currently I have all 3 of them sitting the bench, have filled the waste gate side with penetrating oil, hoping this will loosen something. They are the turbo's below with the funky flange.
Any ideas? Some heat?
thanks
