Great info!
I really appreciate it man
@@EuropeanAutoRepair well deserved. I would not have thought about seizure due to lack of use!
@@EXOVCDS I’ve seen it a couple times lately, kind of a weird one
I’ve had turbo issues since converting a 2020 vw crafter. Last couple of weeks no turbo at all and so slow acceleration. I was just ready to replace turbos, vacuum pump and everything else related to the 0299 code until I tried releasing the actuator rod. Was really stiff first few times then released itself and sprung back on its own. Took it for a drive and what do you know it drives normal again with twin turbos back! Thanks so much for posting this. Hopefully it will all be ok now as long as I don’t leave it sitting too long again 👍
Wow so happy it worked out for you!!
Same issue sitting a while will try it thanks
Ima have to give this a shot, my code just came on, but the car was sitting for about 4 months since the clutch went out. New clutch installed and now only boosting at 5psi.
I got vw passat B8 2.0tdi E288 with 222k and get P00299 intermittently when the car warms up. accelerating on highway in 3rd gear easy up slope and around bit more than half a gas and it just cuts power and goes to safe. Today i just learned that this error resets itself when the car is off for at least 5 minutes. I got odb eleven pro now so i think im gonna try and log it. I changed the wastegate actuator and wastegate control valve. I think its called N95. Still the same. i will try vacuum hoses, sensors, egr, intake smoke test. Start of last year mechanic did big service and i think somewhere around that time the error started.
I'm going to try this. Thanks
What cleaner spray? Would intake valve cleaner work? Mass air cleaner?
I used a penatrating oil like liquid wrench or zep45
About to try this on fathers car that sat. 2016 GTI with only 37k on it and stuck wastegate....
Give it a shot! Let me know how it goes
@EuropeanAutoRepair Will do! If I pry on that arm how aggressive can I get with it?
