Re: Seized Wastegate

I know on my old car you could push the "bar" going from the actuator to the wastegate in one direction ... kinda tough but I could move it.... have you tried that? If I remember correctly it was to the right....

Re: Re: Seized Wastegate

So if I could move it that's a good thing? Or does that mean it's seized?

Re: Seized Wastegate

I would have to say that if you could move it, it wasn't seized.
I'm sure it could be possible to seize one but I have never heard of that happening to anyone....
