6NW 009 228 Electronic Turbo Actuator

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367261039.239941.jpg

A few weeks ago I posted about my turbo making too much boost, causing premature rev limiting and ultimately limp mode/ ETC failure, the electronic actuator was sticking open. The lovely folks at Jeep and Mercedes do not sell a replacement turbo actuator, they sell it with the turbo... for $4,000, or $6,000 installed. Yeah. This is a very common failure for Diesel GCs.

Theres a company called BBA reman in Canada (avoid BBA reman USA, theyre idiots and cant help) and they rebuild these actuators for $250. Lifetime warranty.

So, a few weeks of downtime and $250 plus $50 shipping later and my Jeep is whistling again like it should.

Black box to the left of the turbo. It took 3 bolts and a c-clip to remove this thing, and Chrysler / Mercedes wont sell it separately. Hmm, sounds scamarific to me.
