Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Engine
Operation: Check engine control unit fault codes

If the engine fault warning light comes on on the instrument panel display, it is necessary to check which fault code the control unit has stored to understand the source of the fault: it is also possible to purchase an error code reader from the after market to connect to the OBD socket and carry out the reading and possible cancellation of fault codes. In this case the error P0299 refers to the regulation of the boost pressure, indicating a value below the regulation limit. It could therefore be a simple damaged tube or the variable geometry actuator blocked: before wrapping the head it is necessary to thoroughly check the tubes that bring the vacuum to the actuator and check that it works.
