So, first time post under bad circumstances. My wife limped her 72k mile 2012 Passat TDI home sounding like this last night:

Yeesh!
Wife experienced a loss of power while driving. She got a check engine light and a flashing glow plug indicator. Pulled codes: P0299, P204F, P20EE, and P2201.
P0299 seems like the red flag to me as I've read through multiple turbo failures in the sticky where guys have gotten an underboost fault with a turbo failure.
I would go further with VCDS, but the fact of the matter is that we've owned this car 1 week and have put less than 500 miles on it and all my extra money was going towards getting the cars fluids, filters, and consumables up to speed, so I haven't had time to invest in a VCDS adapter / license yet. I didn't anticipate something this major happening in the first few days of ownership
So tell me what you think. I'll find out either way tomorrow morning as I'm trailering the car 1.5hrs away to the nearest VW dealership and pray that if it's the turbo they fix it under warranty work per bulletin VWP-14-04 or the April 2018 extended emission warranty.
