Thanks for the effort of filming and doing that work.
Thank you very much kindly. Iam from SA and the dealership wants to charge me R15000.00 to change the turbo. After watching yr clip did it myself 😊. Thank you again.
Did you solve the problem?

Yes the plastic gear was worn out. So the actuator lever was stuck.
Great video again. Just a small tip with bolts/screws in hot situations, when putting screws back coat the threads with anti-seize aluminium or copper paste, especially the bolts on the turbo.
Really great Ranger Tech vids ..thanks for posting
Hey, sorry. I don't know your name, but I want to thank you for this video, and the turbo change one. It solved a problem with my bt50 that was intermittent and driving me (more) mad. So it was the actuator, but I ended up replacing the turbo since I had 250k on it anyway. Nice clear instructions that helped me enormously. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this video. Has helped me so much with a p2999 code on my ranger, that's been bugging me for months with limp mode, sensor A stuck high. Just changed the actuator, been a pain especially the L bracket. Anyway now seems sorted and so grateful for your great work and advise. Best wishes from West Yorkshire, UK.

Thanks Man,my car was giving me a lot of stress because of that problem.
Awesome work mate. Very helpful with alot of your clips . Be awesome if you could run us all through how to code injectors though forscan .
Very informative video cheers for sharing mate till the next time😊
Thank u very much i took it back to my dealer the told me it will cost $5000 dollars u wat i look at your video and i did it myself 👍
Amazing video brother! Thank you for sharing it
Your videos are such a huge help mate. I changed my injectors (2013 Mazda Bravo) with your help and I'll keep an eye out for this issue. I'm not very teach-savvy though so I will have to learn a bit about the diagnosis program and cable you use. Thanks again. Luke
glad i could help!
thank that God give you talent so you can help peoples in the world cheers
thanks, for share your experience service of ford ranger
Just for sharing the word of God I'm giving you a like
I agree that Torx screws can be problematic, two suggestions, I prefer to use a complete 3/8 " socket with integrated Torx than a Torx end, Using a short (preferably brass) punch and hammer to give a couple of sharp whacks will give an initial dislodge or bead break to the screw or any bolt for that matter before applying Torx (or socket) to a firm screw.
Often just makes the difference between a clean removal or a chewed out Screw.
I prefer a good quality Allen head bolt to a Torx personally.
For reassembly chase bolt threads on a wire wheel and apply Lannox Lannolin spray or a light smear of anti size grease spray to ease assembly unless thredlocker is required. Makes a later removal easier!
Bro , thank you , having this problem for months
Welcome 👍
Thank you Sir My son is looking buying 2017 BT 50 He said was low on power Ha love the scriptures Praise God
Your a friggin legend
these cars are incredibly labour intensive and ford dealers are not your friend , but thanks to video's like these time and money and frustration can be saved , doing a lot of work in the engine bay
this and many weekends to come "a bit at a time " so the video's help alot 👍
yes indeed, cheers
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado 2.8 turbodiesel... Still have the original turbo. It gets 500 miles on a tank. Have an engine tune and trans tune with EGR removed and it's great.
Thankyou for the video. Have you got any vidoes on turbo removal ??? I think my waste gate is not closing all the way when cold mainly. Getting a turbo noise. I think it may be carbon build up preventing it from full closing as I have no warning lights or lack of power.
Got the same issue with my Transit Custom, same engine but in FWD format, hopefully a new actuator will cure my problem. The actuator is in a difficult location on the Ranger compared to the Transit!
My 22 just blew the turbo and it had a high pitched bearing noise I wonder because they said it needed a good bit of new stuff including the turbo.
I changed my mind,lot of work
Thank you so much! Just fixed my p2598 code and car works as normal. Cheers
excellent vidie friend
Hello can you please tell me if this damper between the gearbox and the drive shaft can be repaired. Thanks.
i love your videos mate. so informative and easy to understand. i have a spanner light that stays on a i dont know what does it mean and how to fix it.
would need to read the code for it , if you can get the code i can give you an idea
Hi... Where did you get the bull bar?
Tq for this video
Do you have to calibrate the actuator after replacing?
Hi There Great Video and info.My Traction light together with the Gear light came on today.I suspect my Turbo cause there is Turbo Faults on the Diagnostic machine.Does the After market Actuator have any Issues on the long run.?? Regards Jacques.
Fair play for fixing it your self, But boy you caused your self some greif, take turbo off and it woulf been easy as , the drive you need is a 1/4 af to fit the torx drive , its an old school size, just how it is, with the turbo off you would of got in the torx head properly and not rounded them out... done heaps my self...
Good work mate is it the same scenario for the 3ltr ranger engine mine is in limp mode but no faults showing or engine lights. Hmmm frustrating. Cheers
I’m having the same issues with my truck it’s a 3.2L ford ranger xlt I did a oil change and it made a really squeaky sound like a high pitch turbo sound
Hey mate do you have a list of tools needed and roughly how long it will take??
thank you so much mine it keeps on damaging turbo charge i have changed almost 4 turbo charges in a year what can be the couse
Mate I’ve got a 2016 pre dpf 3.2 , is there any difference from the 2015 to 2016 , 2.2 and 3.2 ?
Mate great vid, iv got an issue where my px2 Ranger pre dpf has an annoying ticking sound only under load 1500 to 2000rpm then wen I lift off the gas pedal I get a faster ticking noise momentarily for a few seconds iv replaced injectors had this motor stripped and found nothing even drove it without the belt on
I don’t think it’s the exhaust as I found nothing leaking on assembly unless it’s in exhaust pipe
At this point I’m assuming it may be a turbo charger issue but that’s near new n I found no noises spinning the shaft by hand I’m not sure about the variable geometry linkage etc
No codes at all just this annoying ticking sound under load
Was there a sound actuator failing aswell or did it just throw a code?
I got p0035 and replaced the turbo solenoid or bypass valve but the thing is it still have same issue and im afraid it could be the turbo charge
First of all thank you for the videos you've produced. I found it very informative. As of today, can you share your thoughts on the actuator? Is it still working good? Any noticeable change in term of performance/behaviour compared to the original? Your input is much appreciated. Thanks mate
yes it's working fine , performance is the same as original have not noticed any diffrence
goodjob buddy , master level - you did it with one hand only :) used the second one to hold the camera. ... iam gonna give it a go, however the actuators gone up to $240. so it isa toss up between just actuator for $240 or gwtting the whole turbo foe $850..... hmm dilema
you can still get china ones for $80 - $100, search 2.2 ford transit, same actuator ;)
Hi
I have a query.
First of all, Thank you for this amazing and informative video! Could you tell me from where I could get the Ford ranger diesel actuator?
Thank you!
Have u got a link to the Actuator replacement? Mine has done the same thing. Cheers
Great vid.
How's it going?
I am about to do the same job but am concerned about the tuning of the actuator based on a warning in my Haynes manual of "reduction in performance, or could result in engine damage"
Has there been any warnings or boost/performance issues since you did this video?
none at all, has been working perfect.
My Ford RANGER is up and running
Top!!!
Just about to do mine. It’s whistling and not closing properly at high revs.
Hey mate, great video! Our 2.2L BT50 has the same issue, Mazda diagnosed the actuator on the turbo is faulty and said we need a whole new turbo because you cannot just replace the actuator which after a bit of research seems to be false. They tried ripping us 6k for an new aftermarket turbo + install, but being in the trade we're not dumb ahaha. Do you have the link to the actuator you used? I found one aussie company but it's $330 just wanted to check to see if that sounds about right. Appreciate the help!
yeh $330 in Aus, or the China ones are $80 - $150 but takes about 3 weeks to ship to Aus
what normally go wrong with these type of actuator (hella) is the motor witch cost yo $30 a dollars from alixpress or eBay never purchase aftermarket is rubbish mate .( not as responsive as hem ) another thing go wrong 2nd common things is worm gear witch yo can purchase for $10 to $15 Australian dollar mate hope these tips helps to save alot of $$$$$$$$
I have the same issue had the tubo repaced still goes into limp mode (no lights on the dash ) no faults on the computer had my friends bakkie next to mine his actuator is operating,mine is not all power returns once i switch of off and restart then drive a few kms it goes into limp mode again no faults on dash ,i replaced turbo charger ,intercooler and boost pipe PLEASE anyone i need advice im begging you my truck is busy making me broke
i didnt know that ford ranger use the same turbo actuator, i have the same problem with my jeep grand cherokee 2008, the dealer said they have to install new turbo, what a joke, its much easier to remove its sitting on top of the engine, i order one will come soon i hope, lol my error code is P0243, THANKS YOU
there are a few models that use this actuator including toyota
@@abdautomotive i thought was mercedes and jeep only lol

Great video, Could a p0048 error code be the actuator issue?
HI, thank you for the clear instructions. Great help. Can you share the adaptor you used to plug into the dash and read the codes?? what the product code of name is so i can look for it and do future fault finding..
i've got a few videos on this
I changed my actuator last week on my 2.2 transit and cleared the code and all was good but took it for a drive yesterday and that bloody code came back on. I think now it’s on the bloody turbo side of things.
MY bro, thanks as always for your awesome videos. Helps a guy stuck with bad mechanics in Myanmar out ALOT! Wondering if you would have a partnumber for that actuator? (my 2014 T6 2.2 rangers keeps getting a P02599 and the workshops seem to have no clue as to what to do. Appreciate all your AWESOME videos alot!
cheers, a P2598 or P2599 is your actuator, one means stuck high the other stuck low, either way the actuator is stuck haha, Part Number G88/6NW009550
@@abdautomotive Thanks alot for that. The shops here did not find any problems and kept trashing my car trough the hills to let that error cog come up and force it into limp mode. I also noticed (someone told me to check for it) that theres air leaking between the manifold and the turbo ... will dive into that. Please know how much we appreciate your videos man!
@@Mxplorer85 Did you find out what your issue was? Was it the actuator?
Oh im sorry for the late reply! Because of political unrest and civil war, I didn't have the time or mindset to continue, but i will replace the actuator soon, once the parts can be shipped again into the country, ill update asap!@@chrisgrant3770
Hi. Great video, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge! My BT50 has the same fault except that when I looked into it I found the actuator arm (linkage) had fallen off. Please can you suggest where I can buy a replacement with the clips. Can’t find a listing for this on the web. (I stay in a very remote part of the NT so I’m unable to get to a turbo repair shop. ) Thanks again, J.
you can, on ebay but the only listings i've seen are in the UK for the Actuator Rod & Poland for the clips, so postage will be a 3-4 weeks, Type the following in the ebay search : Actuator Rod GTB1749 , Wastegate circlip 1749
Thanks so much for your help. I’ve ordered the spares. Will let you know how I get on! Thanks again,J.
@@cyclomad no worries
i got a code p00bd with my bt50
it been 1year already …
any suggestion？
@@yongyang5860 yeh watch my intercooler or common fault codes video
Thanks for this great video. So how long did the whole job take ?
2-3 hrs
@@abdautomotive Thanks.
Hey man where’d you get the actuator from? Aus or china? No ozzy company’s on ebay. Really need the actuator asap lol
on ebay, there is 1 aussie company there
Do you reckon you could do an actual turbo replacement as I did buy a new one. Thanks in advance.
hey Roger , it's an extra 3 bolts to remove turbo, where the turbo bolts to exhaust manifold, 1 bolt for the oil feed & 2 bolts for the turbo oil return, and your turbo will come off, no coolant lines as it's oil cooled
Would it be the same for a 2009 ford ranger because mine has the engine light on it as well and i feel like it has lost power, not sure if it is the turbo?
it could be
Thanks! Also off topic but what bumper is that?
PX1 factory ford
Did you have to calibrate the actuator? Or it just went fine after installing it
no calibration
I think you missed a bolt on the actuator there is another counter sunk torx bolt behind that L bracket behind the that is pretty much impossible to get off in the car because it’s in the back turbo housing l, so I just took off the front turbo housing because it’s the only way to get to that bolt and it’s much easier to get the actuator back on. That’s on a px1 ranger btw not sure about px2 and 3 great video but
well spotted, i only put the 3 back on, i think the L bracket is overkill
@@abdautomotive the bloody rangers are not exactly designed to be easy to work on especially when you can’t see a bolt let alone access it with the turbo in the car, definition of a love hate relationship.
I'm an American and we've only had this truck since 2019, how many miles does it have? is this ranger a good truck?
330 000kms we have the diesel in australia, your run the eco boost motor, a few issues with the motor but overall it's been good
Have you ever got p0234 turbocharger overboost?
no, i;ve spiked to 27 PSI & no overboost code
have an issue with my diesel 2.2 ranger 2015. makes a noise which sounds like an exhaust leak. but found no leaks. gear wheel comes on and goes into limp mode. could be the actuator. thanks for this post. big help to me.
that or a hole in the intercooler
Same thing they told Me
Hey mate took all 5 torx screws off but for some reason the actuator won’t budge tried smacking it with a chisel and hammer…. Nothing
very unusual
Is it the second time that the turbo actuator fails?
yes that is correct, the part was replaced under warranty
hola no tengo targeta,,otro medio de pago ,,saludos desde colombia
I so wish I'd seen this clip before I spent the three grand. Especially since it turned out to be just the connector.
bummer

if it's going into limp mode it will be showing a code, i recommend forscan for checking fault codes.
Have you fix your vehicle?
Hi where can I buy the software for my android. Buy the way many thanks for the helpful video
My bro.Got error P2099 when going slowly in second gear in 2000rpm. Lost power, got limpmode and showed error P2599 stuck high... the power was strange after a shop replaced my turbo. 1 hour after that, the P2599 error came ( new turbo) After tedious back and forth with local garages (who had no idea), a friend told me to check for leaks. Twas a leak. Air bubble galore.
My turbo was leaking air between the manifold and the turbo connection. Had the shop fix it and the problem went away. Now the problem came back, and yes, bubbles again...so I'll try to have a look and see if I can fix myself.
what do you mean by bubbles?
@@abdautomotive oh sorry!! I sprayed it with soopy water to see if it would leak :D
@@abdautomotive Today is the day! gonna disect your video and follow it step by step. My aftermarket actuator arrived and its time to install it! wish me luck
@@Mxplorer85 , just follow the steps and you will be fine, use alot of penetrating fluid for exhaust bolts
@@abdautomotive man those words are at the right time :D thanks for your awesome videos brother!
Engine timeline ford ranger 2012
wht is your opinion on turbo flutter?on stock ranger
mine only flutters under heavy load, it's not a big issue tho
Was that because of the failing actuator?
You are Terminated. Hasta La Vista.
Is Religious quote necessary in regards to this subject 🥱
Necessary for eternal life, Actuator failure is only temporary ;)
Bro. I think this is whats wrong with mine.
it's preety common
I skipped the part Jeremiah 29:11 the first time I watched this vid. Good to see scripture.
Just bought actuator. Going to do it today. Awesome bro.
Ive takn all the bolts out of old actuator cant get it out.
