⚠️
Low Boost Detected:
Fault code P0299 means the engine control unit is requesting turbo boost but not seeing the expected pressure. Driving with this fault can cause limp mode and long-term turbo damage.
What Does Fault Code P0299 Mean?
On Mercedes-Benz and Jeep vehicles, fault code P0299 indicates a turbocharger underboost condition. The ECU detects that actual boost pressure is significantly lower than the commanded target.

- Mercedes OM651 & OM642 engines

- Jeep 2.0 & 2.2 CRD engines
Common Causes
- Boost hose or intercooler leaks
- Sticking or failed turbo actuator
- Vacuum supply or solenoid faults
- Wastegate or VNT mechanism issues
- Boost pressure sensor faults
Typical Symptoms

- Limp mode activation
- Poor throttle response

Our P0299 Repair Approach
Replacing the turbo without diagnosis is expensive and often wrong. We carry out full boost system testing: smoke tests for leaks, actuator movement checks, vacuum system inspection, and live data boost analysis. The root cause is fixed, not guessed.
