My 451 suddenly lost acceleration whilst driving to work today. There was no engine warning light, but it did come on later today when I slowly drove home this evening (with limited power). Looking on the internet it seems the most likely cause is the wastegate actuator getting stuck open. Can someone tell me how to find the wastegate actuator on a 451 so I can see if I can fix the problem with some silicone lubricant?
Also assuming it is the wastegate actuator and assuming lubricant frees it up (I'm trying to think positive!), will the warning light go out or do I need to disconnect the battery to reset it?
Thanks for any advice.
