Joined the forum mainly to fix the turbo of my car who I'm pretty sure has the symthoms of a sticky vnt-mechanism.

The car: 2002 Skoda octavia 1,9tdi asr engine

I'm hoping to get more knowledge of how to fix my own car in near future, and I feel that to fix the turbo is a great start.

Since my knowledge to computers are way higher than with cars I have vagcom running, and feel its at least a good start to get somewhere.

Have you read any fault codes with your vagcom/vcds from your car?

Isolate the VNT actuator from the VNT mechanism to confirm what it is before you pull the turbo or try to clean it. Here are some test you can do: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a4/VNT-wastegate-adjust.htm
