can anyone post a picture of the part being adjusted? Thanks

 

Can I get a clarification of what this "rattle" sounds like? I have an annoying clicking noise my car makes only on deceleration. Sounds like the sound a fishing reel makes when you cast it out. It's coming from roughly the same area as you are describing. Thanks!

 

pics or ban!

 

I'm getting the problem exactly what was described. It is very annoying when the gas pedal is let off. PLEASE POST PICS. Anyone in the Los Angeles area that can assist me? It's driving me crazy.

 

the way to not go wrong about this :
- jack up Passenger side of car as high as possible ( USDM )
- place stand
- grab a 2x10mm open end wrenches , or a 10 and an 11 mm and a torch just in case
- place a clean matt under car
- get a lamp
- get a cheap hat/cap/bandanna
- WEAR EYE PROTECTION !!!!!!!!!!! lots of rust dust there
- get underneath with your head right near the down pip area
- if once there you are unable to locate the TCA , then this is not for you ... procede to follw these steps in reverse and go to a garage

-if you are able to locate the TCA :
remove the clip by pressing it out with a screw driver and placing it where you can find it
leave the TC arm still connected ,
with the 11 or a 10 grab the end and with the other wrench the lock nut ,
-separate nut from " the other part " , don't be a barbarian , .. don't break anything .. use a torch if it`s jammed
- separate arm from gate end
unscrew the end piece 1 turn ( if this is not enough come back the next day and do it 1 more turn once everything cools down )
- reconnect arm to gate
-replace clip
get your tools and your as out of there , lower the car , check your OIL and go for a drive

honestly if you have any questions or are uncertain about this or you need me to talk you through it , call me anytime at 1 514 839 3283

 

Thanks DavidOff, Will work on this this weekend.

 

what about on the JDM cars? would I jack up the drivers side?(USDM Passenger side) or other way around..

 

USDM: Passenger
JDM : Driver

basically , wherever your turbos are

 

k thanks fixed! it was so annoying!

 

I tried this fix over the weekend but my TCA actuator arm was already properly adjusted. I gave it 1/2 turn out just to see if that would fix the noise I'm hearing but no dice. My problem must lie elsewhere but nearby

 

pictures? the rattle came back.. just making sure it was the right thing

 

Haha. Wow. Strolling through the archives at 4AM and I find this. I can now rid this annoying rattling problem on decel so the FD doesn't sound like a piece of ****.

Worth a round of beers if this works!

 

ok i dont know if what i have is the same as the rattle you talk about.
mine always comes at half throttlr and the boost gauge also flickers with the noise. at full throttle it goes away.

 

My impressions were that the rattle was coming from the wastegate. I'll tinker and see what I can come up with.
