== 16683/P0299/000665 - Boost Pressure Regulation: Control Range Not Reached ==

==== Possible Symptoms ====

* Reduced Power Output
* Limp Mode 

==== Possible Causes ====

* Hoses/Pipes incorrect connected, disconnected or leaking
* Charger Pressure Control defective
* Turbocharger faulty
* Diverter Valve faulty 

==== Possible Solutions ====

* Check Hoses/Pipes to/between Components
* Check / Clean / Replace Charge Pressure Control
* Check Turbocharger
* Check Diverter Valve

==== Special Notes ====

* If the  Turbocharger is faulty due to mechanical / internal problems or the exhaust system is restricted (typically the Catalyst) this fault may be the end result.

===== Gasoline =====
* When found in [[2.0l TFSI (AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA)|2.0l TFSI]]:
** Check Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249), for cracked rubber diaphragm. A new/optimized Valve is available under Part # 06H-145-710-D (or newer).
*** RoW vehicles see: TPI 2016331 for details.
*** NAR vehicles see: TSB 01-07-70 or 2013392 for details.
** When stored in conjunction with misfire codes and/or fuel trim faults see the notes associated with the following faults regarding PCV failure: [[18711/P2279/008825|P2279]], [[17544/P1136/004406|P1136]], [[17705/P1297/004759|P1297]], [[17501/P1093/004243|P1093]] and/or [[16891/P0507/001287|P0507]].

* When found in [[Audi A4/S4/RS4/Cabriolet (8K)]]: 2.0l (CAEB):
** See TPI 2031245/6 -  turbocharger excessive waste gate play.
** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efWOPtAw1Ss shows an example of excessive waste gate play.

===== Diesel =====
* When found in [[VW Golf/Jetta (1K)]]: 2.0l CR-TDI (CBEA/CJAA):
** Verify the mechanical part of the Exhaust Valve Control Module (J883) is not seized or binding.
* When found in the 1.9 L TDI-PD (BLS):
** Check vacuum supply from the vacuum reservoir located in the valve cover for leaks. Using a vacuum gauge, wiggle the valve cover and hose connections to check for a leak.
