P0243 Error

[Bazulco]

One day I was driving n then i lost power in my car. Like if the supercharge died. The car still runs but the supercharge doesnt turn on sometimes. I think the valve in the air filter box keeps on getting stuck because it seems like the car is not getting any air. Well I had MB shop down the street shot it for erros and it came up as P0243 Turbo Wastegate Solenoid Malfunction. O this is a 2000 C230Kompressor.Could someone please help me with this.

it's maybe the VDO bypass valve

if you can try and swap it with someone else just to test if it's the case

Look toward the underside of the VDO -- Try unplugging the connector and replug it in to reset it. That solves my DTCs:

P0235 and P0243.

Alpha, I had the same issue when I installed my custom intake. The VDO stayed opened after I re-installed it. I simply unplugged it and swing the valve back and forward. It works fine since then.
