Turbo/Boost-System Underboost (P0299)

Turbocharger / Boost System · severity: Moderate - a real drivability/power-loss condition rather than a confirmed safety-critical or stranding-risk issue in the sources checked. · confidence: 55/100 · 2 cited sources
Applies to: 1.5L dCi (K9K) turbodiesel - not every engine this model has been sold with
ⓘ Not yet individually classified

Symptoms to watch for

  • DTC P0299 (Turbocharger/Supercharger Underboost Condition) stored
  • Reduced power/acceleration under load or at higher RPM
  • Possible companion DTC P0401 (EGR Flow Insufficient) in cases where a fouled/stuck EGR valve is the actual root cause

What To Check

Reduced power/acceleration under load, if already present, is test-drive-detectable. A vehicle with no current symptoms cannot be assumed free of developing wear, particularly past the ~150,000-200,000km range this pattern is reported to typically emerge in.

This is everything documented for this issue - no repair-cost estimate or TSB/recall reference was found for it, so there's nothing further behind a full report for this specific finding.

Estimated Service Costs

Major serviceR 2,650
Annual upkeepR 3,200
Brake job (pads/discs)R 3,050
Filter kitR 650
