I had new rear discs and calipers fitted yesterday as they were sticking badly, but that highlighted another issue; the dreaded P2563 error code related to turbo wastegate actuator! :(

Weirdly, I have had intermittent issues with Stop/Start being available over the last year, and someone in another forum said replacing the actuator solved both issues, so I am hoping this is the same for me.

What have people tried to fix this error code, which equated to not having to buy a new turbo?

VCDS scan below (ignore abs, the sensor snapped off and the repair has failed)

read this try everything that doesn't mean replacing the turbo, including cleaning the VNT mechanism of the turbo first. if that doesn't help it's either replaceing the core of the turbo, get a refurbished turbo or a used turbo that you clean first before putting it on the car. you also want to make sure that all the vacuum lines are airtight (replace the lot with silicone vacuum lines (you'll need 3mm ID silicone vacuumlines)
 
Thanks for the tips.

I've bought some Wynns Turbo cleaner, so that should help clear any build up. I'm also going to check if the actuator is loose or stiff due to external factors/build-up, and then try to free it if it is using wire brushes and wd-40.

I'll also check all pipework tomorrow - just waiting on a endoscope to be delivered as there's no way I can see all the connections without one.

Does anyone have the actuator and/or turbo part number for an Audi A3 8V 1.8 TFSI ?!

I’ve found a recon turbo but need to make sure of part number.
 
In case anyone has this issue and need a replacement turbo, the part on my 2015 1.8 TFSI S-Line is 06K 145 701 T
