Hey, thanks for your quick reply. My last inspection was at 67117 km and I haven't driven much since then. A faulty wastegate valve actuator sounds unpleasant, but if it fixes the problem, it's probably necessary. I hope it's a minor problem for me. I will definitely discuss it with my garage. Thanks again for your advice!

No problem, buddy, that's what we're here for. The faulty wastegate valve actuator was a real knock on the head, but if the symptoms match, that could be it. Of course I can't say for sure, only a specialist can diagnose it accurately. If it really is the same problem, be prepared for a hefty bill. In any case, I wish you the best of luck and hope that you can solve the problem quickly. Please let us know what it was in the end. The more experience we gather here, the better we can help each other. Keep your chin up!

Hello again, thanks for the support. Yes, the signs point to the same problem. I have an appointment with the mechanic tomorrow and I hope it's nothing too serious. Of course I will keep you updated here as soon as I know more. I really appreciate your willingness to help. See you all soon!

Hi buddy, I know this problem. I had a similar problem with my 2015 Opel Astra, so it's not far from your Meriva. I'm not an expert on cars, but have a bit of experience with my own car and its maintenance. When this happened to my car, the reason was actually the defective wastegate valve actuator. The repair at my garage cost me 1820.0 euros, which certainly wasn't cheap, but it solved the problem. Regardless, it would be helpful if you could give a few more details about your vehicle. What exactly are we talking about here? Mileage? Which engine exactly is installed? That would help you to assess more precisely what might be going on. Hopefully you can solve the problem quickly. Good luck with that!
