2014 GL450 V8 Turbo Underboost -P0299
Can someone please help me diagnose the issue on my 2014 GL 450 showing engine light with P0299. It shows vacuum leak on solenoid in the engine reader. I got it fixed from the european mechanic, he told me it was SOLENOID PRESSURE VALVE and changed it but the issue still exists. Did someone else have the same issue?

I do not have direct experience, but if the code is a vacuum leak, I would get a smoke test done. A cheap way to rule out a leak, which can manifest in many adverse ways and lead you on a parts replacement journey.

Could be the pressure valve under the cover $50 or could be the check valve $10 each. Similar issues here so replacing them all tho coming week.

still waiting on parts but also read to check air filters. I checked and both sides had tons of stuff in there, more than usual. So cleaned out will order some AFE Pro dry filters I use my G and E AMG models. Why I never put butter filters in there 🤷🏻♂️. Anyway cleared code and drove much better today. Time will tell and I will have the parts on standby, as I want to see now if it really was the filters restoring air flow.

Any updates on this?
Historic code on mine after checking with iCarsoft, no CEL. Think I need to change my air filter but otherwise no power loss.

Hope that helps as those are easy cheap options to check if the turbos seem to not be leaking.

I went to replace the boost solenoid under the engine cover but she I was removing one of the rubber lines it easily tore. Replaced solenoid and temp super glued the rubber line were torn. Issues resolved but I suspect it was really just a small tear in the rubber connector that when warm would often cause the code.
