Remove all 5 injector electrical connectors, clean with a damp cloth and then with contact cleaner spray, and whilst wet plug and unplug a few times.

This will fix any poor electrical connections caused by the start of oxidation.

As for the turbo actuator link: a link doesn't just bend by itself.
It bent because what it was trying to move refused to move.
It is likely the vanes have seized inside the turbo.
With the link disconnected from the turbo, can you move the vanes by hand?
If not, you need to remove and clean the inside of the turbo (clogged with soot) OR fit a new or reconditioned turbo.

On the Euro4 D5 the vacuum goes to the 3 engine mounts so if you have a vacuum leak it may be caused by an engine mount.

Swiss, serious question, I know that the front and rear engine mounts are vacuum operated but I certainly wasn't aware of a third?

I've just changed the one under the crank pulley on my E4 D5 and that was a plain engine mount.

Am I missing something or was it a typo?
