Vw t6 cxfa p0299

Hi I am wondering if anyone can help
I have vw t6 cxfa engine dsg
I have had a few problems with eml on
Different codes. Had loss of power. P2279 Air intake leak detected, and p13d6 cylinder 3 inplausible pressure signal.
I did smoke test. No leaks present.
So changed air flow meter. Genuine
the glow plug was changed 7 months ago along with the other 3. Genuine parts it felt better. But not 100% but didn't give me any codes. Untill I done long distance approx 100 miles. P0299 turbo underboost.
I have also checked both the egr pipes front and back. Rear one was changed last year. No leaks here either re tested with smoke machine. No visable leaks.
Is there any thing I am missing.
Or is it just a faulty turbo.
Thanks
 
I would start by verifying boost pressure sensor readings - engine stopped should read the same as ambient air pressure.
Then verify that the turbo actuator runs freely from end to end.

These threads might be useful

For the boost pressure sensor​


Turbo actuator testing​


Fault diagnosis​

 
Finally got to the end of these problems
First off I decided to replace the egr cooler, this helped about 80% better. Rubbish job to do. Especially on a dsg. However job done. Run nearly perfect but still a bit laggy sometimes and turbo boost fault code came on but more when cruising.
So removed boost sensor, it was choked with oily carbon , had a poke in the hole and noticed even more gunky carbon.
Decided to remove the throttle body. At the inlet manifold.
The manifold was full of this stuff.
So spent about 3 hours pulling chunks of carbon out manifold, scrapping what I could and cleaned the inlet manifold the best I could. Cleaned the sensor refitted and road tested, power resumed and running great again.
The caravelle if full dealer service history.
Gets driven well and gets used on driving holidays to Germany from Scotland
This seem an unstoppable problem a design flaw, and some thing that can not be prevented. So glad the power is back.😃

Where do you think the deposits are coming from?

Got any pics?
 
Can you tell me where the boost pressure sensor is on the CFCA please? I’ve looked online and can’t find it
Mines is a cxfa engine
If you remove the corrugated pipe that normally breaks at the front
You will see the sensor I think it has 2 torx bolts.
If you remove the throttle flap housing with mine it was chocked up with oily sludge.
When I took out the sensor it was chocked up.
But so was behind it. It took along time to clean out.
 
I’ve just realised, I searched in this forum for boost pressure sensor on a CFCA and this came up but didn’t see that yours is a CXFA…😕
