Lightbulb

Wouldn't have thought it was the DV. It only opens when the turbo is spinning and the accelerator is backed off. Does naf all at idle.

Talking

Didnt like the sound of pistonslap so got another dealer to look.
Wastegate actuator clicking.sounds louder in the car as it is bolted to the inner wing.
Thanks for the opinions
