Turbo/wastegate actuator rattle!

[Mberfield21]

I've had a rattle for a period of time now. It's more prominent during cold start or revving the engine. I took it into the dealership and I assisted them with diagnosing where the noise was coming from. We took a screw driver and put pressure on the actuator and the rattle went away when revving. Dealership is going to open a star case to determine if this is normal or a problem. Unfortunately they stated that a whole new turbo assembly would be the "fix" which may require removing the body from the frame to swap out. This may or may not fix the rattling noise.

So far I have only seen two others with this issue.

If you have any rattling at cold start or revving this just may be the same thing

Common raptor ecobust issue. glad to see RAM learned from Fords 15 year mistakes but guess not. LOL. When do the cam phasers start failing in the hurricane? all jokes.

VW/Audi's had this as well. RS3 in particular. Alfa Romeo Giulia's (2.0L's) had a similar issue with a similar wastegate control.
