Lightbulb Limp mode??

Hello Friends,

I just posted for the first time... Hoping I can get some help for the people in the know would really appreciate any guidance you could provide
[img]file:///C:\Users\AWOOLF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\ 01\clip_image001.gif[/img]

NEWBIE here….Only had my first MERC for 8 month and hoping I am not about to find I need a new turbo or something.... WDD204022F914948 2012 MEC Benz 204 2.2L CDI (651.911) MILEAGE: 105K

SNAP ON SOLUS readings:



P023400

P226322

P023628

These were the codes uncovered, we checked the pipes for any damage or leaks but to no avail... wondered if the P023628 Boost pressure sensor has a malfunction may be the problem? Some background if it helps... I drive 1 hour to work and return every day for last 8 months… Was running fine until I left my wife in the car idling for 30 mins whilst shopping last week and noticed it was sluggish going on the M1 (no turbo) next morning around 11am it was fine running perfectly fine and at no point ever having any engine lights on.... ran fine for 2-3 days then happened again, tuned off the engine and restarted and this cause it to idle erratically and when pressing the accelerated almost stalled it/choked it... REV needle was fluctuating quite badly.... then it cleared and drive without turbo (only get up to 3k revs)2 days later I cleared the faults with a snap on SOLUS again then it was fine for another 2-3 days, then back again but this time with engine light ON and this time problem with normal driving (fluctuating rev needle) when this eventually cleared (and I managed to avoid traffic accident) we were back to driving without any turbo…I was hoping it was just the boost pressure sensor….IF so where the hell is it and I cannot find any information to locate this little sucker! Someone said DPF clean could be something worth looking at but due to the driving I do would it really coke up? Information would be appreciated before the garage (Merc or not) start looking at it next week $$$$$$

**Update**

I bought a pressure sensor switch and plan to see if it make any difference. I momentarily had some turbo then went again after it seem to be stuck at 3k revs and not changing gear?? (30mph round a roundabout) but then went again....Could the throttle body be causing an issue?????

Someone also said the Injector cabling van become bad and "ARC" causing problems??? Is this something and how to check?
