ABS Problem? if it is the light on then check the loom, common issue on the 40 series....best place to check is under the rad....failing that my break was further up towards the fuse box of all places

Interesting stuff, gonna try tightening actuator on my '99 T4. Last time I looked whilst revving the engine up to about 6000 rpm I couldnt see the actuator move at all. Is this normal or have I got another problem?
Thanks in advance

no load no boost no waste gate actuation. You car would have to be wheels on ground in gear and being thrashed to get the actuator to move, although being around the front to see it would be interesting.....

You might be able to get it to momentarily twitch if you red line it out of gear.

Thanks Penguinistics will try tightening as mentioned earlier in this thread and leave it at that. Performance seems ok but unable to compare with another T4. Second thoughts I might ask the mussus to stand round the front!
