Turbo Wastegate Solenoid

[bigtallguy]

How hard is it to replace this part? How much does it cost? Anyone with any experience with this? I just need to know what to expect when I am able to change it. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about diesel engines, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

about 10 minutes and $35 for the solenoid...its no sweat at all...just DONT reverse the vac lines ;)

I also need to know where the solenoid is, don't really know what to look for. :confused:

It should be mounted on a bracket above the left valve cover at the rear of the engine. You will find a vacuum line coming to it and one going from it. It also has electrical wires connecting to it.
