Engine code P0299
The P0299 code on an Audi A3 2.0 TDI means "Turbocharger/Supercharger "A" Underboost," indicating the turbo isn't building enough boost, common due to vacuum leaks, a sticking turbo actuator (VNT vanes), faulty N75 valve, boost pipe issues, or a bad MAP sensor, leading to reduced power and limp mode; diagnosis involves checking vacuum lines, inspecting the actuator/vanes, and smoke testing for leaks to find if it's air/vacuum related or the turbo itself.
