Lubricating the Turbo actuator ball joints
#31
I followed Ed's lead as well with the Archoil. Applying the oil with the little squirt bottle wasn't easy. I'm sure the spray can of the Porsche stuff would be easier to apply. Anyway, I figured for $13 I'd give it a try.

Good to hear your experience, was thinking of using a syringe. Been over a year since I did coils and spark plugs, so can't remember how much room there is to reach around. Thinking contortion and small syringe would do the trick. Do you remember how much room there is possibly using this method?

Why not just got with any readily available high temp graphite spray lube for $15? What about this particular Porsche lubricant justifies a 10 fold markup?

WD-40 isn't actually a true lubricant. WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver. The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components. ... WD-40 can be a good substance to start with — it can help clean up rust or other grime.

Of the service bulletin:
There is the possibility that turbochargers may have been installed on which the ball joints on the adjustment mechanism for variable turbine geometry can become corroded.
As a result, the adjustment mechanism can become stiff as vehicle mileage increases, thereby resulting in a delayed response from the turbochargers

Any idea what the maximum temp for the lubricant needs to be? There’s limited options here in NZ and I can’t bring myself to order from Porsche.
