06J145220A - Wastegate Actuator Rod/Rattle Clip for 2.0 TSI/TFSI - Audi & Volkswagen (K03)

06J145220A – Genuine Wastegate Actuator Rod Clip for 2.0 TSI/TFSI (K03) – Audi & Volkswagen

This is the factory-original spring clip designed by Volkswagen to eliminate the common wastegate rattle issue on K03 turbocharged 2.0 TSI and TFSI engines. If your car suffers from a metallic rattling noise between 1800–3000 RPM, this OEM clip is the only proven solution.

✔ Fits EA113 and EA888 (K03) engines
✔ Used in VW/Audi Technical Service Bulletin 2024061
✔ Improves wastegate response & maintains boost under tuning
✔ Prevents premature actuator wear and boost leaks

This clip addresses a widespread problem on 2.0T engines as detailed in the TSB:

"Rattling Noises from Engine Compartment or Exhaust System while accelerating between 1800-3000 RPM."

Installing this clip eliminates the rattle and can tighten up the wastegate to prevent it from opening prematurely, helping to maintain boost—especially important for tuned vehicles. It's a small but vital investment for long-term performance and peace of mind.

Beware of cheap imitations – low-cost knockoffs often sold online do not resolve the issue. They’re poorly made and fail to deliver results. This is the genuine OEM part, not a fake.
