Hi guys,

I got another issue with my 2013 passat tdi.

I was driving my car. going off a stop light i heard a little pop sound, glow plug light came on flashing, car shut off, turned car back on, had no power. glow plug light went away, slowly drove home, scanned computer, got P0299 code for low boost.

At first I got mad and thought oh great i have to change the turbo AGAIN. but now thinking about it and doing some research is it possible that its just the pressure unit regulator took a dump ?

Ill just end it here before i go on a mega rant about this damn car.

Thanks guys.

Just wanted to update. Start my car today to move it to a better spot to work on. Havent driven it since this issue. Thing had white smoke pouring out the exhaust. I check the engine oil and there was nothing on the dipstick. I figure it got to be a blown turbo seal or something now

Blown turbo. Don't start the engine again until you replace the turbo, as doing so may cause hydrolock and bent connecting rods.
