2014 Polo 6R 1.2 TSI Turbo Actuator...back ordered!?

Post by SamEvans »

Hi,
My 2014 Polo R Line 1.2 TSI is currently in the garage after the turbo waste gate actuator failed after going into limp mode numerous times. It needs a new turbo actuator however it seems they are very hard to come by at the moment. VW have got them on back order and estimate a 2-4 week wait time. An input of the part number into eBay brings up various results, however it would seem that VW make two versions of the actuator where the length of the shaft differs by 10mm (long shaft and short shaft), all of the available actuators seem to be 100mm however i have the 110mm approx version and it seems impossible to get hold of one.
Does anyone know of any available stock anywhere, perhaps even a used part?
It seems VW have designed a new part with the part number 03F198725C.
Here is an example of a short shaft 1.2 TSI wastegate actuator on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUDI-SEAT ... 2109434480
