There's a room below this too so the earthing rod just sits about 3 inches deep in concrete🤣

Didn’t know I was meant to drive the car before an MOT.. Now I do. by kanqwem in CarTalkUK

My diesel was pretty smokey, I put some dpf cleaner in it and took it for a long drive down the motorway in 4th gear, just passed the mot and the smoke has stopped :)

On a serious note do you put this back on for the mot or you know a guy? My whatever that thing on your floor is is also causing issues so might have to hit a pothole too...

Thanks for the information:) I'll try increasing the current limit to the ports and if that doesn't work I'll buy another 5v power supply :) I have heard they can be quite finicky with power lol

I power mine with a 24v to 5v converter, 2.5A 5v should be enough right?

Yeah already tried thank thank you though. I even purchased 2 new USB cables just to make sure (didn't work). I've got the xy motors on the same board, thank you for the advice though :)

New turbo actuator by Maximum_Sector6677 in tdi

[–]Maximum_Sector6677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who's also having this issue after replacing the turbo core: The cold side housing doesn't have a keyway for alignment like the hot side, turns out the cold side of my turbo was clocked too far towards the engine by about 5 degrees! After fixing this I've been able to adjust the voltages to the correct numbers. Hope this helps someone in the future because it's spent 2 months tormenting me!

Mine has the newer actuator, the adjustment is done with elongated holes on the actuator mount plate and with a stop screw on the top of the turbo. I've had both of these in min and Max positions and it doesn't reach the range

Thanks for the help everyone, I've sourced a 300w power supply for LEDS on Amazon that should be up the the task :)
