2017 Encore P 0299

[swanee]

My wife's car check engine light came on today, scan says P0299.
About a week ago, she had a momentary loss of power going uphill, with all the lights on the dash coming on (I guess like when you first start a car). It was all in a quick moment, then back to normal. I read the things that it could be, just wondering if someone else has had the same, and what it was.

That is a turbo underboost code.

If it were me in your shoes, I would check the wastegate linkage.

I would also change the turbo oil feed tube. It runs behind the exhaust manifold and gets cooked and coked up (plugged).

I started with the air filter, cleared the code 2 weeks ago, hasn't come back on. So for now, I'll just watch it. Turns out it wasn't losing power, the AC was on.

With that mileage, I would replace the turbo.oil feed line that runs behind the exhaust manifold. It is an inexpensive part.

Because of how hot this line gets, I only run mobil 1 full synthetic oil. And I will be replacing that line every 36k miles. It is cheap insurance...

I'm not sure what that is, but I'll look into it.

I'm not sure what that is, but I'll look at it

There is an oil feed line that runs under the exhaust manifold.

See youtube video here for details.
