Hi, after a bit of help, Fabia 1.6tdi 2011 is showing fault code P0299,  EML on and flashing glow plug light and goes into limp mode after a while. When I googled it it's coming up boost pressure valve? Is this what needs changing? As when I searched for it a map sensor kept coming up? Had a new cat/dpf 2 months ago and been running lovely but now this grrrr! Any ideas? Want to start with cheaper options first, many thanks, Jo 🤞

daughter is having a very similar sort of problem too

This is referring to the actuator which controls boost, 1.6 tdi has an electronic  actuator and these can get weak as they get older, this coupled with the VNT mechanism stiffening as it ages can lead to boost control problems.

Yah, I hear you, but this is for the guy who started this thread, I already read yours.

Hello, i have a goof 6 1.4 tsi and i get the exact same erro on hard acceleration.

 

I check the turbo for any faults and nothing. I come to the result (99% - not any action taken yet) it is limiter coming from the software. OR catalytic converter has gone bad
