Hello all,
I have a 2008 Mk5 GTI with the BPY engine and its inspection is coming due. Before getting it reinspected, I have to clear the Check Engine Light code it has.
It is currently throwing a P0299 underboost error which I have not been able to solve for some time now. Attempts to remedy the issue include
- replacing the diverter valve with a revision D one
- blowing smoke into the intake to test for leaks. It revealed a cracked hose which was replaced, but did not clear the code. No further leaks have been found
I have taken it to the dealership and they have said that I need a new turbo. Before I make that investment, I want to make sure that I have left no stone unturned. I have attached the VAGCOM file for those interested.
Thank you In Advance
