hey guys, got an engine alarm P00299 turbo-underboost
we have only owned this car for a month or so, the prior owner safetied the car 20 k before we got it, but it sat for over a year outside. not sure if this could have caused the turbo to corrode or something like that?
any suggestions.
the car is sluggish ( im used to it owning a 99 tdi with a non operational turbo, top speed is 130k, downhill, with wind )
so im not too worried, i know it will drive fine, just no get up and go, but soon i might tackle it...maybe.
i found online that you can only get this turbo with the exhaust mani, 850 from Germanautoparts...or just the vane itself for 100ish.
not sure how i could tell what the actual issue is.
thanks guys
