Easily the best vid I've seen to demonstrate the issue. Actually having the Turbo/Mani out of the bay and showing us. Love it. Thanks for this.

2 years only , I have mine for 4 1/5 now n I got the PO299 But still runs like a champion 🏆 I do get a lil lag speeds of 35 mph streets . On freeway runs great. That sounds good but to much work. And might last for a bet. Yea it's kinda of costly but it's worth it. And it will last you an other 4 or 5 years longer. New turbo

I had this code ( '14 jetta 1.8 tsi) and a very surprising fix. Had p029900 and epc with heavy throttle, especially under load. Acceleration was weak, and sounded like weird turbo noise under throttle, had turbo smoke leak test and shop diag ($170 and no leaks, they told me to replace hpfp due to fuel in the oil, which is apparently VERY rare issue with hpfp especially having no fuel pressure codes/issues etc. so questionable, but replaced pump myself anywhay since it's 160k miles on the original. After BRAND NEW hpfp install would STILL get some epc light p2099 code and then even Hide cylinder, celinder knock, cylinder pressure, and Torque limitation codes under throttle. Was going to try to replace Diverter valve as last idea hoping that was the issue. Car had mostly new sensors already except the CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. I swapped it for a new one since I only bc I already had the car on stands not expecting any affect and.... ALL LIGHTS< CODES AND ISSUES FIXED... turbo noise is gone, torque and power, acceleration are all back to normal. So $170 diag ,shop recommended $400 hpfp later did NOT fix it but $18 CRANK sensor DID. Have even redlined the engine full throttle multiple times and good great power and torque that was terrible before is all back and NO lights NO weird turbo noise. Haven't seen this reported before so maybe rare but sensor is not a hard install and well worth it. I'd say REPLACE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR IF ABOVE 50-60K MILES TO AVOD POTENTIAL ISSUES. 2014 jetta 1.8 tsi, 155k mi

I found a way easier fix without removing anything. Takes about ten minutes. Going down from engine bay top side. Use a pry bar and tweak the wastegate solenoid mount away from the turbo enought to achive preload on the gate arm. So simple!

Hello what size drill bit is used. Thank you for the video very informative

How can you tell whether Westgate valve is loose or turbo diverter malfunctioning?

Awesome video, I'm going to try this once I find a local welder. My 2012 Q5 looks like a pain to remove the turbo, was there any gaskets, crush washers or anything else that you replaced when putting back on? Do I need to worry about oil or coolant leaking once I take it off? Thanks in advance.

What is the name of channel you mentioned ? Couldn't get it..Thank you

Any updates on how it's holding up ?. My buddies is throwing the same code

So there’s a clip that goes on the back of the rod as well? Is it like a snap ring clip?

Hi there! Thanks for the great vid! Just checking to see if you still have the car and how this fix is holding up? I'm considering going this route..

What’s the part number to the clip if you don’t mind bro !

Hey what’s up man, do you have a place you work out at? I have the similar issues

So did it fix it, my man?

Just got this code on my 2004 tdi golf, do you know how to check if it’s loose before pulling it out of the car?

Did the MIL light come on and stayed on? Or did the MIL flash?

my jetta is consuming a lot of oil. is it related to this?

Hello, do you think the oil consumption in my car caused by the Westgate?

Where do you buy vw parts?

On my 2007 Passat P0299 was actually caused by a misfire because of a bad coil pack

Didn't show removal of turbo and needed someone to shoot video for you couldn't see some of repair !!

Where are you located?

Put back on Then Test . . . Give Results After You Drive On Freeway 55 miles Out & Back !!!😅

easy job to take out the turbo???? lol
