Serviceable part so it’s coming on and off throughout vehicles lifetime and wearing. If these threads strip it’s just as bad as driving along with your sump plug hanging off.
Happened to me and luckily caused no damage to the engine, I only noticed when the continuous flow of oil onto the turbo started a small fire. Luckily an easy fix by simply installing some longer bolts with nuts and washers on them, instead of the bolts just sitting in the thread.
I'm 26yrs into owning a Landy, but always new things to consider and contrast.
Regarding the Turbo Waste gate. My valve kept sticking over and over again, the WD-40 just burnt off I guess so I removed the heat cover and then removed the rod from the actual valve, and loosened the valve with a pair of pliers. I then greased up the valve with copper paste and a heat gun, and that has worked for some months now 🤞
Appreciate your work!!!!!!!!
