You can just not replace that and heat the wastegate flap while open and hammer it down some. Replacing the entire turbocharger is an enormous upcharge repair. Also, replacing the DV can help with this too because both the DV and WG can cause this along with several other factors relating to vacuum/boost leak..
I have the same problem p0299 and I hear a small noise from under the engine, but my car It doesn’t lose power when accelerating, do I need to change any turbo censor?
This is very helpful thank you! My fault code is intermittent and puts the car into limp mode and just displays the DTC P0299, it triggers only at high speeds, when I accelerate when aread doing 70mph to overtake something, in 6th gear at about 2500 RPM, is it still worth taking the turbo off or looking elswhere first? cheers

$930 on FCP Euro for the entire Kit. Worth it if you have the $$. Otherwise, the replacement parts for these are $35 for the DV

Hello, I have the same symptoms. Did you manage to resolve this problem?
How much does this cost in a 2007 A4?
PLEASE REPLACE YOUR DIVERTER VALVE FIRST, IT IS $35 AND A 15 MIN MAX JOB AND IT WILL THROW THE SAME CODE.
