For anyone who gives a monkey’s or anyone who encounters this themselves in the future....
It’s a very common issue on VAG TDi wastegates. They get full of carbon. Actuator was having a hard time as the pivot on the waste gate had become stiff one end of its travel.
Used some turbo cleaner spray on the intake side. Expected to have to use it on the exhaust side, but haven’t needed too. Pulls like a train once more.
