2.0 Ecoboost Wastegate Failure Diagnosing P0299 Error

Is your 2.0 Ecoboost engine giving you the dreaded P0299 engine code? In the 2.0 Ecoboost, this code most often is related to a failure of the wastegate and indicates that the turbocharger isn't producing the proper amount of boost.

In this video you'll see how the wastegate should operate in a new turbocharger, compared to the failed unit. If you're wanting to know for certain if your wastegate has failed before dropping $2500 on the repair, this video is for you.

I was fortunate enough to get my local Ford dealer to price match on most of the parts, including the new turbocharger.

After replacing the turbo, my 2013 Edge with 95k miles on it runs like a new car.
