Hello,
This is my first post on this website so please forgive any formatting issues if there are any.
So my 2007 Golf GTI has recently gave me an underboosting code (P0299) and I've decided to check the issue out myself starting with checking out the wastegate to see if its stuck open. So I pop the hood open, and remove the engine cover, but there wasn't enough space to work on the turbo, so I thought that I'll have to get under the car to get to the turbo. So the next day I jacked up the car, only to realize that I can't easily get to the turbo from the bottom either. So I've come to the realization that I'll have to remove some parts to get to the turbo, however, I'm stuck with the decision of wether to do it from the top or bottom. So I was wondering if anyone has some experience with working on their turbo, or could point me in the correct direction with a video that could help me out. Also any other suggestions for diagnosing the underboosting code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
