My first car (in '73) was an old VW Beetle which could cruise on 80kph! No VW in the intervening years, but I've just bought a 2010 Golf TDI, and am looking forward to doing as much home maintenance as possible. $160 an hour for work not properly done is not too attractive...

This forum looks like a tremendous resource, and I look forward to accessing the shared expertise, and (in due course), making some contributions as well.

Welcome! All contributions are much appreciated and if they're FAQ articles, will also qualify for the writeup contest.

    Low boost. I removed the turbo and replaced the actuator and cartridge. I identified some problems with these parts. The cartridge came with the stop screw not set. Should I preload the actuator arm by 1 or 2 turns? Also, is the stop screw set based on a specific clearance in the veins or...
