2012 Peugeot Boxer 2.2tdi - where is the Turbo Wastegate Solenoid? (1 Viewer)

[Ihavenoidea]

Hi, I have had an engine fault light, alarm and reduced speed on my 2012 Peugeot Boxer based Bailey Motorhome. The AA man said it was P0244 ‘Turbo Wastegate Solenoid’. He reset it, and it’s been an intermittent fault 3 times. A garage looked at it, said it was an electronic solenoid, not a vacuum one, and was testing ok.
l’ve tried to look for it, based on pictures I can see of the replacement part, but I can’t find it myself. I’ve looked above and from underneath. Does anyone know where it is actually located?

Hi did you get a solution to this
I've just had the same issue on a 2012 Boxer based motorhome. The intermittent fault was diagnosed as being the same.
The garage are indicating that the solenoid is "built-in" to the turbo and quoting £1000 just the parts.

Sounds like BS to me.

Hi, not fully resolved yet, but after much grovelling under the van and research I found where the turbo is. Attached to the turbo is an ‘actuator’ which can be purchased separately. There is one on eBay ”Peugeot boxer citroen relay turbocharger actuator 2.2tdci G-77 798128 HDi turbo”
A garage said the same to me as they told you, that I would need a new turbo for £1500. What I tried was to clean up the electrical connections first. i took off the black plastic plug, sprayed electrical contact cleaner and remade the connection a few times.
curiously this brought the fault on, so it’s either the actuator, or the wiring. I reset the fault code using an app on my phone and a Wi-Fi OBD dongle.
I have driven my van quite a few times since then, but not for really long journeys. The fault has not returned. the fault only really came on after driving for over an hour and a half.
if it comes on, I will take it to a specialist vehicle electrician nearby, and ask them to either remake the connections, or change the actuator.
i am happy that I have the app and dongle. It cost me £25 total to get that in place. Resetting the error code takes only 5 minutes each time. I’m hoping that it was poor connections……
please let me know what you end up doing

These are my 3 photos from under the van looking upwards at the turbo actuator. It’s connected to the turbo, no idea if the turbo has to be removed to replace just the actuator
