1.8TSI down on power - P0299 fault

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I have a 1.8TSI which intermittently is down on power.

 

I'm getting P0299 - 000 - Control Range Not Reached - Intermittent according to VCDS, so I've checked the following:

  1. Diverter valve - was the newer piston type already, but I replaced it regardless. No change.
  2. Checked for boost leaks.
  3. Cleaned MAF and ITG air filter (the latter was minging, and had been over-oiled by the previous owner - hence the MAF clean too).
  4. Checked it's not possible to blow from PCV inlet manifold hose into PCV system.

I'm not getting any oil around the rocker cover/oil filler cap, which I believe would indicate PCV failure - but there is oil around the top timing chain cover area.

 

Are there any other things to check?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
