Turbo Actuator Problems

Hi everyone,

I have a 520d lci auto and the actuator is on the way out as even when parked it’s on boost as it flutters when I turn it off. I’ve had a trusted mechanic have a look and he said it’ll be the electronic actuator playing up but when I look for a new one there’s different numbers on what look like identical actuators. I will attach a photo and it the 2nd row of numbers that is always on each actuator but the top and bottom row are usually different which I’m unsure which one will fit as I’ve been told by others that the actuators from the manual and automatic cars are different 
 

Thanks in advance for any help.

      My son is getting creative

      Morning Stu Sorry it took a little while Friday afternoon had to nip down to Wincanton Saturday Judging a Gundog Working Test and yesterday Dog Training day (you jinxed it with your Slow day) So very confusing while the Wiring Diagram shows the rear lower tailgate lock and actuator button it doesn't give wire colours (pictures attached) I checked the Bus system that didnt help either according to the wiring diagrams all pre-facelift models (up to 2004) should be the same All I can think is either there is a short somewhere (through robber cable gromit at the top) So not sure if it helps or not Looked at the PDC and it points toward the PDC controller (in the boot down by the battery) Dave

      Mine kept doing that and it was the throttle body. I would be looking around the air intake and hoses. Disconnect the maf sensor and see if any values change on the live data on the software.
