Ca18 not boosting - what could it be??

[mcdae86]

as above, was driving over the road then all of sudden car stopped boosting. Car is running grand no smoke or anything its just like a n/a.
Nearly sure theres no boost leaks etc, so what could it be? When looking at it, the bar from the actuator was off the turbo, put it back on but still the same? Would it be acuator knackered?
Cheers!!

Make sure the bar is adjusted right and has no play that would be your problem id imaging as the same happened me

[mcdae86]

how do know if the bar is adjusted correct, its standard actuator.. the bar has good bit play in it..

[mr.jailbait]

a good bit of play means the wastegate isnt closing id say

check fuel filter, this will cause it to not fully boost

Yeah it's your actuator alright, shouldn't be any play in it.
