Video tutorial

In this video, see how to install the wastegate valve on an Opel Mokka. The wastegate valve is the maximum pressure valve used to control the operating conditions of the turbine driven by exhaust gases, which is located after the exhaust manifolds, unlike the blow-off valve (pressure limiter).

First, remove the three screws shown in the video to take off the heat shield. Next, remove the two screws and the retaining clip (with care) to take it off quite easily; do this after disconnecting the inlet pipe.

You can find this component on eBay with the code 234937193737 for £160.00, including shipping. Position it, tighten the two bolts, and refit the clip; reconnect the outlet pipe, and the job is done.
