That's not running... But that said, the display is pretty clear

Running would make no difference, that's what I get.

Can anyone with access to any tech systems help me out please? I cannot find the electrical connector for the turbo boost actuator anywhere on the loom.

It should be a big 3 of 4 pin plug. All of the rest of the loom has just fallen into place and is quite clearly correct, but I just cannot find the plug for the turbo! There are some wires that run down the drivers side behind the air con pump bracket for things at the bottom of the engine like the oil pressure, alternator, exhaust sensor, but literally nothing that remotely resembles the turbo actuator!!

It’s really foxing me now. On the passenger side there is a spare three pin connector that pops out of the same part of the loom as the EGR valve, and I can’t find a home to that - but it’s nowhere near long enough to reach the turbo

If anyone has access to anything that could help - or indeed an Astra to open the bonnet and have a peek, I’d be v grateful. This is all that’s preventing me firing it up now!

Although interestingly, looking at my photos prior to getting the spanner’s out - it appears maybe nothing was plugged into it originally! Can anyone confirm if there should be an electrical plug / actuator on the turbo itself please?

[JamesV6CDX]

Hmmm. Having just googled the turbo actuator it’s at the back of the engine, and I’ve located that. So what on earth is the plug on the turbo itself - some kind of diagnostic plug? :/

Got a pic of the turbo?.

Most are vac actuated with a remote vac solenoid, 99% sure the Z17DTH is this type (probably a Honeywell)

I’ll post one up but yes, the internet confirms the turbo vac solenoid is at the rear of the engine. So goodness knows what connector goes on the turbo itself.

Half wondering if the wrong component has been installed sometime.

Photos will be up in half hour

Also just broke my pissing iPhone screen crawling under there, forgot it was in my pocket

Don't know a jot about Astras, and after 17 pages of comments would never consider purchasing one..😀

[JamesV6CDX]

The female connector on the turbo, which I can't find a plug for:





And the plug near the EGR valve which I also can't find a home for!

[Doctor Gollum]

Any obscured sensors that end of the head/block

I’m going to pop the EGR back off, I remember thinking something like that in that region when I dismantled it
