Complaint:
Check engine light with some or all the following DTCs relating to the cooling / vacuum systems.
- P003313 - "The output for the switchover valve of bypass flap 'Charge air' has an electrical fault. There is an open
circuit."
- P0299FA - "The boost pressure of turbocharger 1 is too low."
- P0299FB - "The boost pressure of turbocharger 1 is too low."
- P226100 - "The bypass flap 'Charge air' has a mechanical malfunction."
- P261F71 - "The output for the recirculation pump 'coolant' has a malfunction or does not switch on. The actuator is
blocked."
- P012800 - "The coolant temperature is below the coolant thermostat specified temperature."
- P012809 - "The coolant temperature is below the coolant thermostat specified temperature. There is a component
fault."
Cause:
The above codes may be created by the following:
1- Vacuum Leak
2- Damaged O-Ring

Remedy:
1- Inspect the vacuum system for loose connections or cracked hoses (See Vacuum Diagram)
-Yellow color -> part #9 --> connection point behind the coolant pump bracket
-Green color --> part #14 --> vacuum reservoir
2- Smoke test or pressurize the system to detect a leak especially in the following known areas
-Water pump mounting plate
-Vacuum connection on water pump mounting plate
-Water pump O-ring
-Water pump vacuum line
-Water pump
-Vacuum manifold / Vacuum reservoir
Note: ONLY USE LOW PRESSURE MAXIMUM 1BAR / 14.7psi TO AVOID DAMAGES
3- Remove vacuum hoses from vacuum reservoir and look for the following
- Particulate matter
- Contamination of the inside of the vacuum connection
- Any signs of coolant and / or oil on the inside of vacuum connections on the vacuum reservoir
Note:
The vacuum reservoir is a sealed unit. Pictures attached show internal contamination of the vacuum reservoirs. The
vacuum reservoirs were cut open for informational purposes only. DO NOT cut open the vacuum reservoir.
-Perform all Diagnostic procedure before replacing any parts.
4 - If coolant is found in the vacuum system replace the water pump, vacuum reservoir, change-over valve and clean
the vacuum lines.
5 - If oil contamination is found in the vacuum system replace the vacuum pump, vacuum reservoir, brake booster and
clean the vacuum lines.
