Yes, I believe so.fingers crossed I got it right!
Just to complement - another way to access would beto check the voltage I opened vcds and then the engine controller. I selected output tests and then turbine actuator IDE07783.
Sorry for the delay. I’ve changed the rear brake discs and pads, then taken the van for an MOT. It passed with no advisories but I’ve been so busy since I haven’t had the time to take it for a drive. Was hoping to hook up the laptop with vcds on its first test run just to make sure it’s boosting properly. I’ll get to it as soon as poss!so how did you get on?

@rajjinator is doing the same job and is having some issues with the actuator length. . .

P00AF - 'stuck' with new turbo
Hi all, I have just fitted a new turbo from London Turbos and am getting a fault relating to the actuator position. It's actually in a Crafter, but it's a DAUA engine so relevant in all areas I guess so posting here for better visibility. To cut a long story short, the turbo has been replaced...www.t6forum.com

@Westcoast888 how tricky was this and why do you need the vac unit? It looks like my actuator has died as well...View attachment 260838
Stuffed some blue rag in the air pipes in readiness for the flying circlips!
But to be fair it wasn’t too bad and I had success with the 2nd one. God knows where the first one went! Trying to keep the mityvac pumped while manoeuvring some long handled pointy nose pliers with a small screwdriver in your third hand is tricky enough especially in a dark space with crap eyesight!
Sorry for the late reply. It was reasonably straightforward once the fault had been diagnosed. @mmi was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction on more than one occasion. You need the vac gun to operate the actuator to remove it and also to calibrate the new one. Worth buying one as they are very handy for other jobs such as bleeding brakes etc. also worth becoming a member so you can download the workshop manual. I’ve got an old laptop in the workshop loaded with the manual so it’s easy to refer to. I then use my day to day laptop for vcds.@Westcoast888 how tricky was this and why do you need the vac unit?

Is it just the charge cooler that needs moving to get access?
Thanks
Great result, and thanks for the detailed write up. I may need it it sometime ( but hopefully not too soon though)Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks. I bit the bullet and had VW change the turbos. Just didn’t have the time or head space to sort it out myself. It financially hurt but the van was fixed within a week.Sorry for the late reply.
