DTC P029921

Hi Everyone,

Recently I bought a MB B200 Auto 2015 model from an auction.
On driving back home, I observed low engine power, and upon reaching home while checking for any OBD2 scan codes, it threw me the following. Out of which, I believe P029921 is the main reason I am getting low engine power.
Can anyone please advise which could be the reason for it? Is it the whole Turbo assembly or just a part of it? I checked for any vacuum leaks but couldn't find any (I may be wrong!).
Thanks in advance for your support.
Cheers
Mayank

Have you seen this? Not the same car, but the same code and symptoms from the sounds of it.

I suspect the same- Wastegate actuator is a very common issue in these engines especially in a warmer environment- its summer here in Australia.
also, when i tracing the part number written on existing wastegate actuator it appears that its an aftermarket replaced part. Tomorrow/dayafter i will try to actuate it by vacuuming externally and will update.

Much appreciate for your support mate!
cheers

Update- resolved

I tested the wastegate actuator using vacuum hand pump- no issues
i tested the solenoid and it was Normally Open all the times. Cleaned using pressurised air and put it back- started working all good!
finally the Wastegate actuator is in sync with rpm.

Do you know what caused it?

Not 100% sure but could be a struck solenoid!
