Turbo gone

Featured Replies

Hi all, picked up a 2016 skoda superb 2.0tdi DSG 150bhp today from auction with the intention of it being my family car. Upon driving home I had the glow plug symbol flashing followed by a oil pressure warning. 
I pulled over turned the car off and did a scan luckily keep my code reader on me. The following codes where shown 

P164B00 oil pressure switch malfunction 

P164D00 Reduced oil pressure switch Malfunction 

P00AF00 Turbocharger Boost Control A module performance 

P029900 Turbocharger under boost 

 

there’s definitely a strange noise coming from the turbo under acceleration 

 

Anyone experienced similar? 
not the best start with the new car unfortunately 

Apart from the flashing dashboard, how did the car behave/perform?

hi ben, the car went into a limp mode, once cleared the codes was out of limp mode but holding onto gears more. 

Any white smoke out the back? If not, it’s unlikely to be the turbo. Oil pressure switch failure?

no white smoke that i could see, it was dark however. i think its there turbo as when under acceleration there is a strange noise coming when its on boost 

Looks like a trip to a good independent then.

What was the outcome, Im having same prob with a failed turbo, out of warranty 4.5yrs old and 38000miles looking to see if Škoda sorted it for you with any good will?

@Sparky210 Have you always had the car serviced at a Skoda dealer? If so that’ll help with a goodwill claim. If not, they tend to be less helpful… ☹️

Yes fully serviced from Škoda dealership, anyone a suggestion of what their goodwill should ne

Not a chance in hell for the other guy buying an 8 year old car from auction.

Impossible to say I’m afraid.
